Interesting fact

The obverse side of the coin features an image of King Frederick I of Sweden, who ruled from 1746 to 1761. The coin was minted during his reign, and it's interesting to note that Frederick I was also known as Frederick the Great, a powerful and influential leader who played a significant role in European politics and military conflicts during his time.
