Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre - Sigismund 1597 coin from the City of Reval (Swedish Estonia) is that it was made during the reign of King Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Sweden from 1592 to 1604 and the King of Poland from 1587 to 1632. This coin was minted during a time when Sweden and Poland were under a personal union, and it features the image of King Sigismund on one side and the coat of arms of the City of Reval on the other.
