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. Charles XI, who ruled Sweden from 1660 to 1697, implemented a number of reforms during his reign, including the introduction of a new coinage system in 1684. This system, which included the 1 Sechsling coin, was designed to replace the older, debased coinage that had been in use for centuries. Despite the challenges of implementing a new currency during a time of war and political upheaval, the 1 Sechsling coin remained in circulation for over 20 years and remains a valuable collector's item to this day.
