Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Carl XI (1st portrait) coin from the City of Reval (Swedish Estonia) is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was minted between 1664 and 1666, a period when the Swedish Empire was struggling to maintain its control over the Baltic region, which included present-day Estonia. The coin's minting was likely a response to the economic and political instability of the time, as the Swedish government sought to maintain its influence and control over the region's trade and commerce. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of history for collectors and historians today.
