Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Daler Silvermynt - Charles XI (Type I) 1660-1663 from Sweden is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of the king, Charles XI, on the obverse side. This was a departure from the traditional design of coins at the time, which typically featured an image of the king on the reverse side. The inclusion of the king's portrait on the obverse side was a sign of the increasing importance of the monarchy in Sweden during the 17th century.
