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 therefore, his name is written in Gothic script on the coin as "Carl XI" instead of "Carl XIC" which is the usual way of writing his name.
