This one and the other Daler SM coins minted
during 1715-1719 were emergency coins struck during a period of hard economic
crisis. Even if they bear the value of a daler they were strongly underweight ,
that's why their minting ceased in 1719. However these emergency coins were used
for a long time, before with value of 1 öre KM, and then of 1/12 skilling.
