A Commentary by Swedish coin book author Roberto Delzanno, in his book "Coins from Sweden 995-2022", Chapter Karl XI 1660-1697, (book 2 , page 704).
- "The coin sold at MISAB auction 2017:25:132 is in quality 01 and technically very well preserved, virtually uncirculated, however, the coin has been struck with worn dies which means that the portrait is faintly pronounced and the sharp details diffuse."
