Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic turmoil in Sweden, known as the "Klipping" era, where the government was forced to debase the currency to pay for military expenses, leading to a period of high inflation and economic instability. Despite this, the coin still maintains a unique historical significance and is sought after by collectors today.
