Comment
The coin was made of cannon bronze from the arsenals in Stockholm and Karlskrona. Unlike the other Swedish plate money, these coins were cast instead of forged by copper.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Daler Silvermynt - Charles XII (Stockholm) 1715 from Sweden is that it was made of Bronze (Cannon Bronze), which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of bronze for coins was not unique to Sweden, and many other countries also used bronze for their coins during the 18th century. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that the weight of the coin, 1161g, is relatively heavy for a coin of its size, which may indicate that it was intended to be used as a large denomination coin or as a store of value.
