Geoff T Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 I can tell you that it's a Swedish piece of Karl XI, but I don't know for sure what event it celebrates. However I'd hazard a guess that it was struck in connection with king's coming of age in 1673. He succeeded at the age of five and Sweden was ruled by a regency until 1672, so 1673 was the first year of Karl XI's personal reign after the regency ended.Geoff Quote
