Comment
This one and the other Daler SM coins minted during 1715-1719 were emergency coins struck during a period of hard economic crisis. Even if they bear the value of a daler they were strongly underweight (a daler in copper would have to weigh about 756 grams) that's why their minting ceased in 1719. However these emergency coins were used for a long time, before with value of 1 öre KM, and then of 1/12 skilling.Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of King Charles XII, also known as Charles the Great, who ruled Sweden from 1697 until his death in 1718. The coin was minted during his reign, and it's believed that the image of Charles XII on the coin was modelled after a famous statue of the king that was erected in Stockholm in 1703.
