Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Daler coin from Sweden is that it was issued during the reign of King Johann III, who was known for his efforts to stabilize the Swedish economy and introduce a new coinage system. The 4 Daler coin was part of this new system and was intended to be used as a standard circulation coin. Despite its intended use, the coin is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
