  I've always liked those big chunky ones, too. And for really big Swedish copper, I had a piece of plate money once.

  Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

  Agreed. Despite the corrosion there is something quite appealing about this coin. I can almost feel the mists of history clearing to reveal a marketplace and the people who once used it.
  
  And Christina herself was certainly very interesting.
  
  Neat stuff!

  I have a Christina ore myself and well the plate money is a specialty of mine.
