Comment
Coins from 1667 are said to have lettering beneath the bust (like 1668), while those from 1671 do not; however, picture confirmation is needed.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mark coin from the City of Reval (Swedish Estonia) is that it was minted during the reign of King Carl XI of Sweden, who ruled from 1667 to 1671. This coin was made of silver and weighed 10.11 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. The coin's design likely featured an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the City of Reval on the other.
