2 Rundstück - Carl XI Without ribbon

Narva's municipal coinage of the 1670s exists because the city, then under Swedish crown administration, held a rare privilege allowing local token currency to ease chronic small-change shortages along the Baltic trade routes. This particular variety — distinguished by the absence of the ribbon on the king's bust — likely reflects a mid-run die adjustment at the Narva mint rather than a deliberate design decision, and its separation from the ribboned type is confirmed across the major Scandinavian reference works. Carl XI was only fifteen when these were struck, still under regency rule.
