Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Daler / 1 Ort - Karl "Lord Protector" (Type I) 1599 from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Sweden. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by King Charles IX, who ruled Sweden from 1560 to 1604. The coin's design features the king's name and title, "Karl, Lord Protector," and it was minted in silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. Despite its age, this coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
