8 Mark - Karl IX

正面描述	Crowned and armored half-length effigy of King Karl IX facing right, his right hand raising a sword and his left arm bearing a shield displaying the Greater Arms of Sweden — three crowns in the first and fourth quarters, the Folkung lion in the second and third, and a small central escutcheon bearing the Vasa sheaf. The figure is framed within a double-beaded circle; the inner annulus carries the royal motto and the outer legend, with the date at the close. Above the king's head, within the inner circle, the Tetragrammaton (יהוה) radiates in Hebrew characters.

附加信息	Karl IX spent much of his reign ruling as regent before finally crowning himself king in 1604, an act that required him to depose — and later execute — his nephew Sigismund, the reigning Catholic monarch. The 8 Mark was the prestige denomination of this period, struck in limited quantities for use in high-value transactions and diplomatic payments rather than everyday commerce. Surviving examples are almost always found with adjustment marks and die cracks, a consequence of the Stockholm mint's chronic difficulty maintaining consistent planchet preparation at this weight.
