The three stars in the centre stamp is the mintmark that stand for "By privileged copperwork's and individual peoples copper."Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Daler Silvermynt - Charles XII (Type I) 1702-1712 from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Sweden. The coin was introduced in 1702, just a few years after the death of King Charles XI, who had implemented a number of economic reforms aimed at strengthening the Swedish economy. The coin was minted in large quantities to meet the growing demand for currency, and it quickly became a widely used and trusted form of payment throughout Sweden. Despite its relatively low value compared to other coins of the time, the 2 Daler Silvermynt remains a popular collector's item today due to its historical significance and the fact that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Sweden.
