The date of issue appears below the monogram. A circular Latin legend reading DOMINVS PROTECTOR MEVS (The Lord is my protector) runs along the periphery, enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This type spans one of the most turbulent stretches in Swedish history — the final years of Charles XI's absolute monarchy and the entirety of Charles XII's catastrophic military campaigns across Europe and Russia. The billon composition reflects deliberate debasement; Sweden's war financing under Charles XII repeatedly strained the coinage, and the Crown leaned on reduced-silver issues to keep currency moving while bullion reserves bled into military expenditure.
Charles XII died at Fredriksten fortress in 1718, and the type ended with him.
