Found an Old Swedish Medal in my Grandparents' House.

by AXEMANMC

I found an old swedish medallion of some sort in my grandparents house. I don't know much about it, but i'd like to see if anyone here might know anything. Here's what it looks like:

Back Side: http://i.imgur.com/p14Uedq.jpg

Here's what I know so far about it:

  • It's Swedish
  • The words across the top of the backside translate to "Fatherland"
  • It is from 1783, which is also the year Gustav III's child died. This could be completely coincidental, but worth mentioning.

Any help finding more about this medallion would be vastly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

It's a 1/3 riksdal, a coin. Silver.
