Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Daler Silvermynt - Frederick I 1720-1746 from Sweden is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a Swedish monarch, King Frederick I, on its obverse side. This was a departure from the traditional design of Swedish coins, which had previously featured the Swedish coat of arms. The inclusion of the king's portrait was a sign of the increasing power and influence of the Swedish monarchy during this time period.
