Comment
Pogge 1574Interesting fact
The 1 Sechsling coin from the Swedish dominion of Pomerania, minted in 1707 during the reign of Charles XII, was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins in Europe to feature a portrait of a ruler on both sides. This unique design was meant to symbolize the king's power and influence, and it was a departure from the traditional coin designs that featured mythological figures or symbols.
