Numismatic Insight: Christina BI Schilling/Solidus of Riga (Haljak 1520)
Overview: This small billon denomination was struck at Riga in Swedish Livonia during the reign of Queen Christina. The 1640 date places the coin in the early part of her reign, when the Riga mint continued the Swedish monetary tradition in the Baltic provinces. This example weighs 0.68 g and is graded UNC/UNC.
Historical context: Riga was an important commercial and monetary centre on the eastern Baltic. After Swedish control was established in Livonia, its mint produced local denominations alongside the broader Swedish coinage. The compact flan and the combination of Swedish royal authority with the Riga mint attribution make this a representative piece of seventeenth-century Swedish Livonia.
