1718,
SWEDEN. 4 Daler Plate Money, 1718. Karl XII (1697-1718).

10 x 9.75 in. KM-PM49; AAH-150; BT-A1. (Tingstrom: 30 examples known including 7 pieces from the Nicobar). With type A countermark (lion of Gota on a shield dated 1718) on the obverse and type C countermark on the reverse applied to a 1716 4 Daler plate. In the year 1716, the 4 Daler denomination was reintroduced for the first time since 1658. Although two 4 Dalers are known dated 1663, these were produced from cut down 8 Daler pieces. The decree of December 5th 1717 stated that plate money would be devalued by one-third from March 1st 1718. People wishing to obtain full value for the plate money had to submit them to the bank or state office in order to exchange them for bonds, tokens or banknotes. In order to distinguish the plates owned by the state from those owned privately, the former were given an extra stamp, the Lion of Gota on a shield. Un-stamped plates were thus devalued to two-thirds of their value. This resulted in private parties exporting their plates resulting in them being melted down for their full intrinsic value. All original stamps boldly applied giving full denomination in center stamp, four legible and three complete dates. Dark brown patina and some mild verdigris around edges. A very attractive and well preserved large format plate.

Pedigree: From the Stanley Aberdeen Collection.
