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 1660 to 1697. This coin is part of the "1st shield" series, which means it features the king's coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting process also adds to its historical significance, as silver was a valuable and widely used metal in the production of currency during that time period.
