| A large, base metal medal that was probably originally silvered. There is the remainder of the silvering on the reverse around some of the lettering and the wreath detail. Not many Swedish medals of the period make their way to my attention so I was intrigued. Enhørning was an active engraver throughout the period and is listed many times in Bramsen though this piece does not appear. |
| The best anyone can seem to say about Gustavus IV was that he was despotic and mentally deranged. Poor girl. The army eventually overthrew him and replaced him with his uncle (Charles XIII) who later was succeeded by Bernadotte. |
