Dav-4517; KM-83; Hagander 74; AAH-26. Type III portrait. Having led Sweden to victory in the Thirty Years War, by the end of his reign Gustav II Adolf had cemented Sweden as one of the greatest military powers in all of Europe. Even today, he is often regarded as one of the top military commanders of all time. His innovative use of combined arms helped him to achieve victory in his most notable military engagement at the Battle of Breitenfeld in 1631. A coin of significant historic as well as numismatic importance, it features clear readable legends and effigies on both sides. An even gray patina covers the entire surface of the coin on both sides, with any damage from past mounting nicely concealed within the holder. The reverse die can be seen to be rotated 90 degrees. A coin intended for the advanced specialist in Swedish coinage from the era, and which is sure to please its new owner. NGC VF Details--Mount Removed.
