A super present to yourself @t360 and good luck with the docs today. It is always nice to see an ermine tail design element. You might remember this previous thread where we explored this subject a bit: http://goccf.com/t/295053

Quote: 1670 Sweden Karl XI 8 mark. Wow. What a beautiful coin. I have never collected foreign coins and don't have anything near this old--my oldest coin is an 18th century large cent. I have to say I am so impressed by this mark. Just curious what kind of price range your coin enjoys?
