Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Carl XIV Johan (Type 2; heavier) coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1830, just a few years after Sweden had adopted a new constitution that established a parliamentary monarchy and a new system of currency. The coin's design, featuring King Carl XIV Johan, was meant to symbolize the country's newfound stability and prosperity. Despite its value, the coin was not widely used in everyday transactions due to its high value and was primarily used for large transactions and as a store of value.
