Comment
Rundstück is the local word for öre, which translates to "Round piece."Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Rundstück - Carl XI 1668-1670 from City of Reval (Swedish Estonia) made of Silver weighing 3.76 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Sweden. The coin was minted during the reign of King Carl XI, who ruled Sweden from 1660 to 1697. During his reign, Sweden was involved in several wars, including the Scanian War with Denmark and the Great Northern War with Russia. Despite these challenges, the coinage of Sweden during this time remained consistent and of high quality, with the 4 Rundstück coin being a prime example.
