2 ½ Öre Sweden, any information on it?

I was visiting the Pohjanmaa museum at Vaasa/Vasa when I saw a coin I have never seen before, a 2 ½ Öre coin. The collection on display with coins from Sweden, Finland, the Russian Empire and Georgia had belonged to Mauritz Hallberg (1851-1924). I do not own any catalogs so I don't have a lot of information on the coins not on Numista.
I'd appreciate it a lot if someone could tell me about this coin, because it currently isn't on numista.

I will create a basic page for it now, and maybe add more details or pictures later. :)


This 1661 is the only 2½ ore in Krause. Look at the values and you know why it's not a surprise you've never seen that coin before.
Here is the page I created - will add more to it >

I'm quite suprised how many precious coins are in the collection of Hallberg. There are lots of coins worth a lot, including patterns, platinum roubles and many ducats.






Very scarce coin. The diameters vary a little. NGC prices are a bit off, it's around 1500-2000 in VF, though it's not often they become available.

Very impressive museum collection too for a small place. The platinum 6 roubles is super rare and the swedish 8/6 marks look in insanely nice condition. May have to visit!

There are also a few plate dalers (three worth 2 dalers and one 1 daler) from the mid-1600s, which I haven't seen on numista.
Wow! That's a very impressive collection. I suppose that the platinum roubles and ducats showcased here are very scarce.
