The bad money of war
The quality of money has often deteriorated in times of war. In the early 18th century, for example, Swedes had to exchange their money for necessity coins (2). You can see from the display case how small the necessity money is in comparison to the plate money (1), even though both coins are supposed to be of equal value.
