IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
LIVONIA (SWEDISH): Christina, 1632-1654, AR solidus, Riga, [16]49, KM-2, Haljak II-1425, a lovely lustrous mint state example! PCGS graded MS63. Christina is remembered as one of the most erudite women of the 17th century, wanting Stockholm to become the "Athens of the North", and was given the special right to establish a university at will by the Peace of Westphalia. She is also remembered for her unconventional lifestyle and occasional adoption of masculine attire, which have been depicted frequently in media; gender and cultural identity are pivotal themes in many of her biographies.
