| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped and laureate bust of King Karl XI facing right, with flowing long curly hair and a heavily folded mantle. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the baroque style typical of late 17th-century Swedish coinage. The royal legend is divided by the bust and runs along the periphery in capital Latin letters. The field is smooth with no additional ornamental devices. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles XI was thirteen years old when this coin was struck, Sweden's government run entirely by a regency council following the death of Charles X Gustav in 1660. The regency period was marked by factional infighting among the high nobility and chronic fiscal mismanagement — problems Charles XI would later address with brutal efficiency through the Great Reduction of 1680, clawing back alienated crown lands and systematically dismantling the aristocratic power that had governed in his name.
The 8 Mark denomination sits at the top of the Swedish silver series for this period, making surviving examples in any presentable condition relatively scarce given the denomination's exposure to heavy mercantile use.
