Comment
One coin on Künker auction 331 in January 2020, lot 436. Starting bid at 6000 euro.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles XI 1673-1674 coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and conflict in the region. The Swedish dominion of Pomerania was a short-lived period of Swedish rule over the region, which lasted from 1673 to 1674. This coin was minted during that time and features the image of Charles XI, the King of Sweden from 1660 to 1697. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item due to its rarity and historical significance.
