Comment
Mintmaster BA - Bastian AltmannInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles XI 1682 coin from Swedish dominion of Pomerania (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great change and conflict in Europe. The coin was issued in 1682, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany and the surrounding regions. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Charles XI, the King of Sweden, indicating the influence and power of the Swedish monarchy in the region at that time. This coin serves as a small but fascinating reminder of the complex history and political dynamics of 17th-century Europe.
