Comment
Mintmaster DHM - David Heinrich MatthäusInteresting 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 change in the region. The coin was introduced in 1681, just a few years after the Swedish Empire had taken control of Pomerania from the Holy Roman Empire. The new rulers implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which helped to stimulate trade and commerce in the region. The ⅔ Thaler coin was a key part of this system, and it remained in circulation for many years, becoming a popular and trusted form of currency among merchants and traders.
