Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of King Frederick I, who was the ruler of Sweden from 1720 to 1751. The coin was minted during his reign, and it's interesting to note that the king's portrait on the coin was designed by the artist Johan Gustaf Wolter, who was a prominent engraver and medalist of the time.
