Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Swedish dominion of Pomerania is that it was minted during the reign of Charles XII, who was the king of Sweden from 1697 to 1718. Charles XII was known for his military conquests and expansion of the Swedish Empire, which included the acquisition of Pomerania in 1700. The coin's design, which features an image of Charles XII on one side and the coat of arms of Pomerania on the other, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
