Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Daler - Karl "Lord Protector" (Type I) 1598 from Sweden is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Sweden on the reverse side, which was not present on previous coins of the same denomination. This addition was a deliberate choice made by the mint to signify the importance of the country's national symbols and to differentiate the coin from others in circulation.
