Comment
Rundstück is the local word for öre, which translates to "Round piece."Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Carl XI of Sweden, who was a minor at the time and had a regent, Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie, who was in charge of the government. Despite this, the coin still bears the name of Carl XI, indicating that he was still considered the rightful ruler even though he was not yet of age to rule.
