Comment
Restrike:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mark - Charles XI (Landskrona) 1675 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. Charles XI, who ruled Sweden from 1660 to 1697, implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the country's economy and military. The coinage was one area that saw significant changes during his reign, with the introduction of new coinage systems and the use of silver as the primary metal for coins. The 2 Mark coin, which was minted in 1675, is a reflection of this period of change and modernization in Sweden's history.
