Swedish riksdaler specie
CUR-V22-SWEDISH-SPECIE · Research draft
A documented account-unit or currency-system transition supports this predecessor identity; not admitted from a specimen or inherited label alone.
One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor.
Dated observations: 1789; this does not establish the entire lifetime.
Parents / predecessors
No distinct predecessor currency is established in the loaded view.

Dated observations, not a proven complete lifespan.
Inference C1155
Edvinsson distinguishes riksdaler specie from the riksgälds unit emerging in 1789, and groups riksgälds, riksmynt and krona in one continuing unit. This supports a qualified branch from specie, rather than an invented new currency at every name change.
