Comment
Mintmaster DS - Daniel SyvertzInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from the Swedish dominion of Pomerania is that it was minted during a time of great change and conflict in the region. The coin was issued by Charles XI of Sweden in 1672-1673, a period when the Swedish Empire was expanding its territories in Europe, including the acquisition of Pomerania from the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design, which features an image of Charles XI on one side and the coat of arms of Pomerania on the other, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time. Despite the turmoil of the era, the coin remained a standard circulation coin in the region for many years, a testament to its enduring value and utility.
