Medals, regal, Sweden. Karl XII, Hild. 235, 0.37 g. One sided gold medal, possibly intended for mounting in a ring, according to Hildebrand. Depicting Karl XII facing right, his back and right shoulder depicted enclosed by the text CAROL.XII. REX. SVEC. Approximately 14×16 mm. Beautiful, prooflike specimen. XR. The engraver style of the medal is similar to Stralsund's coinage 1706–1709, hence this medal is probably struck during this period. Hildebrand mentions three known gold specimens in his catalogue: Kungliga Myntkabinettet, the museum of Schwerin and De Geers collection. 01/0.
