| Additional information |
Reval — modern Tallinn — occupied a peculiar administrative position in 1668: a Swedish-controlled Baltic city jealously guarding its medieval municipal minting privileges even as Carl XI's centralizing monarchy steadily eroded such autonomies across the empire. This ducat was struck under that tension. The city had held coinage rights since the Hanseatic period, and local magistrates pushed hard to retain them against Stockholm's consolidating instincts.
The "2nd portrait" designation in Fed#283 distinguishes this die marriage from the earlier 1668 emission — a detail that matters for completeness in any serious Swedish provincial collection.
