Comment
Mintmaster CS - Christoph SucroInteresting 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 1681, just a few years after the Swedish Empire had gained control of Pomerania through the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. This period saw a significant increase in trade and commerce in the region, and the minting of coins like the ⅔ Thaler was an important part of this economic growth. The coin's silver content and standardized design were also significant innovations at the time, as they helped to establish a uniform system of currency across the Swedish Empire.
