CoinOfNote, 7 months ago @AimeeMaroux @antiquidons @histodons @mythology @Greenseer My Mars coin is pretty worn, a #Smoothie! But an interesting story - From #Sweden in 1718. A series of coins bearing the planetary gods minted 1715-1719 were emergency coins struck during a period of hard economic crisis (due to the King going to war with everyone and running out of money!) More info (and a much better example of the coin) at https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/about-the-riksbank/history/historical-timeline/1700-1799/emergency-coins-fund-the-war/ #Numismatics #CoinCollecting #Money #Coins #History Crowned round ornamental wreath with denomination in center.
