Interesting fact
The ⅛ Daler coin was minted during the reign of King Johan III of Sweden, who was known for his efforts to modernize the Swedish economy and monetary system. As a result, this coin was one of the first to be minted with a standardized weight and purity of silver, which helped to establish a more stable and reliable currency for the Swedish people.
