Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sechsling coin from the Swedish dominion of Pomerania is that it was minted during a time of great change and conflict in the region. The coin was minted in 1673-1674, during the reign of Charles XI of Sweden, who was attempting to assert Swedish control over the region. This was a time of great tension between Sweden and the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin may have been used as a way to promote Swedish influence and assert its authority over the region. Despite this, the coin was ultimately not successful and was not widely accepted, and it remains a rare and interesting historical artifact.
