Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Sweden. King Carl XI, who ruled from 1660 to 1697, implemented a number of reforms aimed at strengthening the Swedish economy and military. These reforms, combined with the coin's unique design and the fact that it was minted in the City of Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia), make it a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
