Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Mark coin from Sweden, minted during the reign of Charles XI in 1664, is that it was made of silver with a purity level of .694, which is relatively high compared to other coins of its time. This means that the coin contains a significant amount of pure silver, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
