| Additional information |
Karl IX had not yet formally assumed the title of king when this coin was struck — he ruled as regent following the deposition of Sigismund III in 1599, only being crowned in 1607 after years of political maneuvering against Swedish Catholic nobility. The 3 riksdaler denomination served large mercantile and state transactions during a period when Sweden was consolidating its Baltic ambitions, and the coinage of this reign is notably inconsistent in output and survival.
KM#39 is among the scarcer dated issues of Karl IX, with known examples showing significant variation in die alignment and planchet quality — a product of Stockholm mint conditions rather than any systematic problem.
