...and by golly they lived happily ever after!
How could a Frenchman not fall in love with the aura of Ore
and besides, she's so young!
Couldn't resist sharing a couple of coins I came across.
Oh man, they're big-sorry.

I've had some of those Swedish pieces from that era (well, I've had the Nappy 3 50c's too), but not that nice. What was the bullion weight of those Swedish ones? I forget. Wasn't it something weird like .630 or something?
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
She IS a bit young, isn't she? That's a nice one though.
I'm not familiar with the Ore, is that a mini portrait under the "25 ore"?
It appears to be although I don't know the history behind it. Looks like a queen...

Maybe some kind of privy/mintmasters mark?
Does look like a tiny little queen's head.
A tiny beheaded queen's head. She has no neck!
(What's Mary Queen of Scots or Marie Antoinette doin' on a Swedish coin, anyway?)

I noticed that right off and think it would have to be Queen Christina, a Swedish queen who gave up her throne and took the vows and entered a nunnery in Rome in the 17th century. A story only marginally less fascinating than the formers, because it was without some of the murderous intrigues.
Gotta go to the history book now: sounds fascinating. Thanks!

P.S. Is it time for lunch at Cheap Charlies?

olmanjon, I tried to find out but couldn't find a picture of the two together.
I'm assuming it's the large cross variety. If small variety
I'm looking forward to $400 plus when it sells, otherwise I'm thinking
the large could hit $75 to $100
Lunch? I will call you shortly.
