Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅓ Riksdaler - Carl XIII (Type II) 1818 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the country. The coin was issued in 1818, just a year after the death of King Charles XIII, who had ruled Sweden since 1809. The coin was minted as a tribute to the late king and features his image on one side, while the other side features the coat of arms of Sweden.
