Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Daler Silvermynt - Charles XI 1660-1691 from Sweden is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of the king, Charles XI, on one side and the coat of arms of Sweden on the other. This design was a departure from the traditional design of coins at the time, which often featured religious symbols or other motifs. The inclusion of the king's portrait was seen as a way to promote the king's image and reinforce his authority.
