Comment
NOTE: 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 coin's design 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 the Mercury symbol on the coin represents his name in Latin, "Carolus XII." This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in Swedish history and coinage.
