Swedish Plate Money (Two Daler)

Overall: 9.9 x 11.8 cm (3 7/8 x 4 5/8 in.)

Some monetary denominations in Sweden, such as the daler and its divisions, were issued in large plates of copper and silver because the ores were plentiful. However, by the late 1770's these plates were considered too cumbersome, and consequently, Sweden began issuing some of Europe's first denominations in paper money.
