| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crowned cruciform coat of arms occupies the central field, composed of four interlocking shield roundels arranged symmetrically around a central point, each bearing the Swedish lion or the three crowns of Sweden. A large royal crown surmounts the entire device. The date is split across the central horizontal axis of the cross. The peripheral Latin religious motto IN·IEHOVA·SORS MEA·IPSE·FACIET encircles the design, separated by dots, and is set against a finely milled border. The overall composition is bold and heraldic in style, characteristic of Swedish gold coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles XI was thirteen years old when these ducats were struck, Sweden still governed by a regency council following the death of Charles X Gustav in 1660. The regency years were fiscally turbulent — Sweden was overextended from decades of war, and the copper-plate money system was straining under its own absurdity. Gold ducats of this period served primarily diplomatic and mercantile functions rather than domestic circulation, which explains their survival rates in comparatively fine condition.
The Type II/III distinction in the SM catalogue reflects die modification changes made between 1664 and 1665, likely at the hand of mint master work at Stockholm under the supervision of the Riksråd.
