Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Mark - Charles XI 1661-1664 from Sweden made of Silver (.750) weighing 10.40 g is that it was minted during a time of great change in Sweden. Charles XI, who ruled Sweden from 1660 to 1697, implemented a number of reforms during his reign, including the introduction of a new coinage system. This coin, which features an image of Charles XI on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other, was part of that new system and was used widely throughout Sweden during his reign. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not particularly valuable, with a value of only 2 marks, which was a relatively small amount at the time. Despite this, the coin remains an interesting piece of history and a reminder of the changes that took place in Sweden during Charles XI's reign.
