Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Carl XI of Sweden, who was a minor at the time and had a regency government ruling in his name. This coin was minted in the city of Narva, which was part of the Swedish Empire at the time and is now located in modern-day Estonia. The coin's design features both inner circles, which was a common feature of coins minted during this period. Additionally, the coin is made of silver and weighs 3.49 grams, which was a standard weight for coins of this denomination during the time.
