Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin still features the image of Gustav II Adolphus, the King of Sweden, who played a significant role in the war. This highlights the coin's historical significance and the impact that the Swedish dominion had on the region.
