Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles XI 1666 coin from Swedish dominion of Pomerania (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Europe. The coin was issued in 1666, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany and left many of its territories under foreign rule. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Charles XI, who was the King of Sweden at the time and had asserted his dominance over Pomerania. This coin is a testament to the complex political landscape of 17th-century Europe and the ways in which different powers and territories interacted and influenced one another.
