Comment
Only one specimen is known of the 'Type I (Lozanged edge)' type, in a private collection.Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of King Charles XII, who was known for his military conquests and his efforts to modernize Sweden's economy and military. However, the coin was actually minted after his death in 1718, during the reign of his sister, Ulrika Eleonora. This means that the coin was created as a way to honor and commemorate Charles XII's legacy, rather than being a contemporary representation of him.
