| Additional information |
Gustav II Adolf died at the Battle of Lützen in November 1632, and coinage struck in his name that year was produced both before and after his death — meaning some pieces were minted under a king already killed in the field. The Type II designation distinguishes a revised die treatment introduced at the Stockholm mint during that same year.
The 4 Riksdaler denomination was a large, prestige-weight issue rarely seen in everyday commerce. KM#158 survivors are thin on the ground; the 1632 date carries particular collector weight precisely because of its proximity to Lützen.
