Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Carl XI of Sweden, who was a minor at the time and had a regent, Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie, who was in charge of the government. Despite this, the coin still bears the name of Carl XI, indicating the power struggle between the monarch and the regent.
