Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Öre - Charles XI (Type I) 1664-1669 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 during his reign, including the introduction of a new coinage system.
