| Additional information |
Reval — present-day Tallinn — operated under Swedish imperial authority during this period, and its municipal coinage occupied an awkward jurisdictional position: struck by a city mint under a Swedish queen's reign, yet intended primarily for local Baltic trade circulation. Christina abdicated in 1654, just years after this issue closed, having famously converted to Catholicism and fled to Rome — a scandal that arguably overshadowed her entire monetary legacy in the northern provinces.
