Comment
Mintmaster IHL - Johan Henrik LoeveInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Swedish dominion of Pomerania is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued in 1763, just a few years after the Swedish Empire had gained control of Pomerania through the Treaty of Stockholm in 1720. This period saw a significant increase in trade and commerce in the region, which led to the need for a new currency that could facilitate this growth. The ⅔ Thaler coin was one of the first coins to be minted in Pomerania under Swedish rule, and it played an important role in the local economy for many years.
