Description: 1652 Sweden Christina Ore Avesta 48 mm Copper Coin Certified by NGC Uncirculated Details (In Large NGC Slab Holder) Rare in Uncirculated Condition KM#162.2 Diameter: 48 mm Christina, Queen of Sweden, ruled from 1632 to 1654 and is one of the most intriguing monarchs of the 17th century. Born in 1626, she ascended to the throne at the age of six after the death of her father, King Gustavus Adolphus, during the Thirty Years' War. Her reign was marked by cultural achievements, intellectual pursuits, and significant political decisions. One of the key aspects of her reign was her abdication in 1654, which shocked Europe. Christina had become deeply interested in Catholicism (despite Sweden being a Protestant country), and she eventually converted after abdicating the throne. She moved to Rome, where she lived the rest of her life. As for "ore," the Swedish currency at the time was indeed based on copper, which was an essential resource for Sweden’s economy. The "öre" was a unit of currency, and copper mining was critical to Sweden's wealth and power during Christina's reign.
