Reval — modern Tallinn — operated under Swedish crown authority by 1671, having passed from Danish to Swedish control in 1561. This trial strike predates confirmed municipal gold coinage from the city and likely reflects an application or test striking submitted for royal approval that never advanced to full production, which explains both its extreme rarity and its pattern designation in the Krause reference.
