Interesting fact
The 1 Mark coin from the City of Reval (Swedish Estonia) minted during the reign of Eric XIV (1561-1562) is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. The fact that it weighs 11.05g suggests that it was a substantial coin, likely used for larger transactions or as a store of value. Additionally, the coin's design may have featured an image of Eric XIV, which would make it a unique and collectible item for numismatists today.
