Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Daler / 1 Ort - Karl "Lord Protector" (Type II) coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1600, just a few years after Sweden had adopted the Daler as its standard currency, and it was minted until 1603, when the country was in the midst of a civil war that would eventually lead to the deposal of King Charles IX and the establishment of a new government. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained a popular and widely used denomination throughout this period, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
