Original – Erfurt 10 Ducat (Portugaloser) depicting Sweden’s Queen Christina. One of only seven gold coins known with her effigy.

Reason: High quality image, high EV, very rare. Erfurt was occupied by Sweden from 1631 to 1648 during the Thirty Years War, thus the appearance of Queen Christina on their local currency.

Articles in which these images appear: Erfurt, Christina, Queen of Sweden, Ducat

FP category for this image: Currency

Creator: Sweden (coin), National Numismatic Collection (image).

Support - Very well done. I was going to comment on how some of the edges appear soft, but then I paid closer attention to the wear and tear on the coin. The image is sharp. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:44, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support – As above. ^{Godot13Regarding the use of the word "effigy" in the caption, are you sure that's the best word? Read the first paragraph in the article Effigy. "Image" might be better.} - CorinneSD (talk) 22:52, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

CorinneSD I completely understand how it sounds strange, and I do think image sounds better, but it seems to be a term frequently used in numismatic writing to refer to the portrait section on the front of a coin (even described as such within a Wikipedia numismatic glossary)...--Godot13 (talk) 23:03, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Godot13 Thank you. I learned something new. That means that this is a specialized use of the word. Perhaps some information about this should be added the Effigy article. CorinneSD (talk) 23:20, 13 May 2015 (UTC) [reply]

CorinneSD - Good suggestion, paragraph added.--Godot13 (talk) 03:28, 14 May 2015 (UTC) [reply]
