Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Swedish occupation of Pomerania is that it features an image of Adolphus Frederick, the King of Sweden, on one side, and a depiction of the Pomeranian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time when Sweden was occupying Pomerania, a region in northern Germany, and it serves as a unique historical artifact from this period.
