Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Daler - Karl "Lord Protector" (Type III) coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Charles IX, who was instrumental in introducing a new coinage system in Sweden, which replaced the old system based on the Swedish daler with a new system based on the Swedish krona. This change was aimed at stabilizing the country's economy and simplifying trade. The 1 Daler coin was a significant part of this new system and was widely used throughout Sweden during this period.
