SWEDEN. Gustav II Adolf den store (the Great). 1611–1632. Engraved AR Gaming Piece (25mm, 2.09 g, 12h). European monarchs series. From the van der Passe workshop. Dated 1632, though made circa 1638.

Very rare.

Though dated 1632, the year of Gustav’s death, this token is closely related to a group of pieces depicting Charles I of England and his wife Henrietta, dated 1638. They may all be a part of a larger series depicting European monarchs on the obverse and an unadorned reverse legend.
