PLATE MONEY OF THE PAST
UnwieIdy Coinage Once Issued by
Sweden Now Found Only as
Museum Curiosities.

One of the largest coins ever struck
off has been acquired by the Ameris
can Numismatic society, of New
York. The piece is of copper, is ID,
by 2314 inches In size, weighs 81
pounds, and it's coinage value in 1882
was eight Swedish dalers, which
would be about $500 in American
money. The coin is rectangular
ingot, with five large round stamps
punched in it, one in each corner and
one in the center Stamps we're
placed in the corners to prevent
Clipping" Each corner stamp car!
rios the Swedish crown in the cen
ter, and the date, 1859 Around the
edge is the inscription of Carolus
Gustavus X, the reigning king. The
center stamp states the value of So
in silver.
Coins of this kind were called
plate money" Sweden turned them
out continuously for 110 years, be-
ginning in 1649 in the reign of Chris
tina, daughter of Gustavus Adolphus,
in denominations of eight, four, two,
one and half daler pieces, with pieces
Of five and three dalers in one year.
The coinage had been in progress 10
years when the specimen now here
was struck In 1715 the Swedish
government melted down 116 bronze
cannons and made them into $3.50
plate money dalers.
Such large pieces Of pure copper
were issued as money in order to
find an outlet for the products Of the
Swedish copper mines without depre-
ciating the value of the metal. All
plate money is naturally becoming
quite rare Daler and half-daler
pieces are most often found twos
and fours are scarce, and the eight
daler pieces are no longer to be seen
in Europe except in the large mu
seums. =
