Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Sweden. Gustav II Adolf, who ruled from 1611 to 1632, was a powerful and influential king who oversaw a period of military expansion and religious reform in Sweden. The coin's minting in 1627-1628 coincided with the height of Sweden's military power and influence in Europe, and it is a testament to the country's economic and political strength during this time.
