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 regent, Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie, who was in charge of the country's administration. Despite being a minor, Carl XI's reign saw significant changes in Sweden, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which included the 4 Rundstück coin.
