Interesting fact

The coin was issued during the reign of King Carl X Gustav of Sweden, who ruled from 1654 to 1660. During his reign, Sweden was involved in a series of wars, including the Second Northern War, which lasted from 1655 to 1660 and pitted Sweden against Poland, Russia, and other European powers. Despite the turmoil of this time period, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item due to its rarity and historical significance.
