Charles XII's emergency copper "plate money" tokens of 1718 were a fiscal improvisation born of prolonged war — Sweden's treasury was effectively bankrupt after nearly two decades of the Great Northern War, and silver had long since vanished from circulation. The Apollo series was struck in copper and assigned the face value of silver dalers, a transparent fiction that the Swedish public was given little choice but to accept.
Charles XII died at the siege of Fredriksten in November 1718, and the emergency coinage program collapsed with him. Most of these tokens saw hard use in a desperate economy.
