Comment
Hildisch 22, Gib.-Wit. IF.91.1.aInteresting fact
The 1 Scherf coin from the Duchy of Pomerania-Stettin was minted during the reign of John Frederick, who was the last Duke of Pomerania-Stettin before the region became part of the Swedish Empire. The coin features an image of the Duke on one side and the Pomeranian coat of arms on the other. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is highly sought after by collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
