Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Carl XI (4th portrait; shield with curved top) 1670-1671 from City of Reval (Swedish Estonia) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King Carl XI of Sweden, who ruled from 1660 to 1697. During his reign, Sweden was involved in several wars, including the Scanian War with Denmark and the Great Northern War with Russia. Despite these conflicts, the coinage of the time remained consistent, with the 1 Ducat coin being a standard denomination. Additionally, the coin features a unique curved top shield design, which sets it apart from other coins of the time.
