Comments
Even if Krause and Davenport divides riksdaler dated 1723 to 1728 (km# 395.1) from those dated 1730 to 1733 (km# 395.2) the more correct method to differentiate the various types of riksdaler is to look at the King's portrait.
So Ahlstrom and other swedish catalogues distinguish portrait type 2 (with 3 subtypes) in riksdaler dated from 1723 to 1733 from portrait type 3 (with 2 subtypes) dated from 1731 to 1738. The main difference, besides the portrait style, is the presence of crowns on the drape that covers the armor. To combine both way I divided km# 395.2 in two: the first with portrait 2 the second with portrait 3.
Portrait type 2 has three sub-variant in portrait type:
TYPE 1723 and TYPE 1724 are both made by Johann Carl Hedlinger and are quite the same except for the ornaments on the chest of King's armor that are lightly different and the shulder ribbons that are more complex in 1724 type. More type 1723 has an edge ring clearly visible that is absent in type 1724
TYPE 1726 made by engraver Daniel Haesling. Different from Hedlinger's portraits. Again this type has the edge ring.
