Medal of Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz

King Gustav III had this medal struck in 1782 after the completion of the Stockholm Opera House. Architect Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz (1716–1796) had designed the opera house and supervised the construction work. However, the opera house was demolished in the late 19th century to make way for a new opera house. The medal is silver, 53 mm in diameter and 53.2 g in weight.
