Did you know that King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden was known as the ‘Lion of the North’ for his military prowess? Here is a 2 Kronor coin from 1932, commemorating the 300th anniversary of his death at the Battle of Lützen in 1632. The obverse features his laureate portrait, while the reverse displays an ornate inscription plate with Sweden’s three crowns shield. Gustavus Adolphus was a pivotal figure in the Thirty Years’ War, and some speculate that his untimely death altered the course of European history.
