Coiled Crowns


Notes:   
Condition:
Contents:  In Swedish: Prohibition from King Gustaf III against Furniture and Goods Lotteries. The King wants to toughen up on lotteries among the poor (lotteries among the already privileged are legal). The reason for this prohibition is that lotteries leave the person who arranged the lottery rich and the others poor. It tricks young people into the habit of gambling. The King also makes a point that the rich will keep their rights and privileges that are written in the law.
