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
One interesting fact about the 1 Daler Silvermynt - Charles XII (Wits and Weapons) 1717 from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Sweden. The coin was minted in 1717, which was the year that Charles XII, the king of Sweden, died. This led to a period of political instability and power struggles in Sweden, which had a significant impact on the country's economy and currency. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its unique design and historical significance making it a prized addition to any collection.
