Interesting 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 1673, just a few years after the Swedish Empire had gained control of Pomerania through the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. This treaty marked the beginning of a period of Swedish rule in the region that would last for over a century, and the coin is a tangible reminder of this historical era. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the economic importance of the region and the coin's intended use as a widely circulating denomination.
