Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Bogislaw X, who was the last duke of Pomerania and ruled from 1474 to 1489. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 1.18 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar composition. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and was not meant to be a high-value denomination. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in the German States during the 15th century suggests that it may have been used in trade and commerce across the region.
