Aanvullende informatie

Reval — present-day Tallinn — had been under Swedish dominion since 1561, and its civic coinage privileges were an administrative holdover that Stockholm periodically tolerated and periodically questioned. This riksdaler was struck when Carl XI was still a minor, with the regency government effectively ruling Sweden; the king himself would not assume personal rule until 1672. That the city issued silver of this weight and module under a child-king's name says more about Reval's entrenched mercantile autonomy than about any royal initiative.

KM#19 places this among the last substantive civic issues from Reval before Swedish centralization effectively ended municipal minting prerogatives in the Baltic provinces.
