Interesting fact
The 1 Daler Silvermynt was a coin used in Sweden during the 18th century, and the Charles XII (Type IV) variety was minted from 1715 to 1717. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a unusual choice for a coin of its denomination at the time. Most coins of this value were made of silver or gold, but the use of copper was likely a result of the economic difficulties faced by Sweden during the Great Northern War. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still features a impressive design, with an image of King Charles XII on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other.
