The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system that replaced the old system of reckoning in silver dollars and ore. The new system was based on the gold standard, with the ducat as the base unit of account. This change was significant because it marked a shift away from the traditional silver-based currency system that had been in place for centuries, and it paved the way for Sweden's adoption of the gold standard in the 19th century.
