Skrivet av: Ishbel Cormack skrivet 2000-07-31, 04:58
I understand that about 1626 Sweden used copper coins in the shape of a square, called clippings, because there was a shortage of silver. Did they also use round silver ones minted on the continent or in Sweden? When Marcus Kock, mint master, came to Sweden about that time did the type of coins change? Were both metals used?
In 1787 the cost of 1/4 of a farm was written as 777riksd. 37sk. 4runst.spec. what do the abreviations riksd.,sk.,and runst.spec. mean?
In 1731 a silver goblet was listed as worth 23dlr k:mt.Is this listed in a diferent type of currency than the 1787 farm purchase?
