Interesting fact
The ½ Daler Silvermynt was a coin used in Sweden during the 18th century, and the Charles XII (Type IV) 1718 variety is particularly notable because it was issued during the reign of Charles XII, who was known for his military conquests and his efforts to modernize the Swedish economy. The coin was made of copper and weighed 351 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its age, some of these coins have survived to this day and are highly sought after by collectors.
