Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 16 Mark - Karl IX (Type I) 1606 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. King Karl IX, who ruled from 1599 to 1611, implemented a number of reforms during his reign, including the introduction of a new coinage system. This coin, which features the king's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of Sweden on the other, was part of that new system and was used widely throughout the country. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, with many examples still in existence and highly sought after by numismatists.
