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 change and conflict in the region. The coin was minted in 1687, 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, which led to the need for a standardized currency. The ⅔ Thaler coin was one of the first coins to be minted in Pomerania under Swedish rule, and it remained in circulation for over a century, until the Swedish Empire lost control of the region to Prussia in 1720. Despite its long history, the coin remains a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few examples known to exist today.
