Rare 17th-Century Swedish Copper Pair – Queen Christina 1/4 Öre! Fantastic, highly historical pair of copper coins from the mighty Swedish Empire! These are 1/4 Öre pieces struck during the legendary reign of Queen Christina in the mid-1600s. The obverse of these fascinating coins features a large, bold monogram reading "C R S" (Christina Regina Sueciae - Christina Queen of Sweden), proudly nestled beneath the iconic Three Crowns of Sweden. The reverse displays a beautifully intricate, crowned shield featuring the famous "Vasa" sheaf (the coat of arms of the ruling royal House of Vasa), flanked by the "1/4 OR" denomination. For copper coins that are nearly 400 years old, this pair has survived with wonderful character! They boast a rich, deep, and completely original chocolate-brown antique patina. The central details remain wonderfully clear, allowing you to easily appreciate the historic royal monogram and the majestic Vasa shield.
