| 裏面の説明 | Full-length veiled figure of the risen Christ standing facing, his right arm raised in blessing and his left hand holding a Globus Cruciger. The figure is set partially within a beaded inner circle, with the date 1608 divided on either side of the figure. An inner circular legend encircles the Christ figure between the beaded circle and the outer border, while the king's devotional motto forms the outer circumferential legend. The composition is executed in the elaborate Mannerist style typical of early Swedish riksdaler coinage. |

Karl IX struck these large-denomination pieces during a reign defined by dynastic warfare — he had deposed his nephew Sigismund III of Poland in 1599 after a brutal civil conflict rooted in Sigismund's Catholicism, and the two crowns remained formally at war. The 4 Riksdaler was propaganda as much as currency, projecting royal authority at a moment when that authority was still contested by the high nobility who resented Karl's consolidation of power.
The Dav EC II#4511A designation places this among the major European crown-sized coinages catalogued by Davenport. Survivors in any condition are genuinely scarce — the type was never struck in volume, and 118g silver pieces had a way of being melted rather than saved.
