One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Carl XI 1671 coin from the City of Narva (Swedish Estonia) is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The coin was minted in 1671, just a few years after the Swedish Empire had conquered the city of Narva from the Russian Empire. This was a time of great political and economic upheaval, and the minting of this coin was likely a way for the Swedish Empire to assert its control and authority over the region. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item to this day.
