Comment
Mintmaster ILA - Johann Leonhard ArensburgInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles XI 1689-1690 coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and conflict in the region. The Swedish dominion of Pomerania, where the coin was minted, was a short-lived period of Swedish rule over the region, which lasted from 1679 to 1721. During this time, the Swedish government sought to assert its control over the region and introduce Protestantism, leading to tensions with the local population and the Catholic Church. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the complex and dynamic nature of the region's past.
