Comment
Copper for this coin was fetched from Bäsinge in Dalarna.Interesting fact
The 1 Daler Silvermynt - Charles XII (Type II) 1711 coin from Sweden was made of copper, which was a unusual choice for a coin of its denomination at the time. Most coins of similar value were made of silver or gold, but the use of copper was likely a result of the economic constraints faced by Sweden during the reign of Charles XII. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still features a beautiful design and is highly sought after by collectors today.
