Swedish coin

From the mass graves, the Cross Meadow, Visby parish, Gotland. An "L" surrounded by a wreath of beams. As long as Magnus Eriksson ruled there were separate monetary systems in the Danish counties of Skåne and in Sweden. Few coins minted in Skåne reached Sweden and vice versa. Only when Magnus Eriksson's rule was weakened, did the proportion of Swedish coins in the counties of Skåne increase. SHM 19325:Mz3
