Interesting fact

The 1 Sechsling coin from the City of Stralsund (German States) was minted during the Swedish occupation of the city, which lasted from 1646 to 1648. Despite being issued by a German city, the coin features the Swedish royal coat of arms on one side and the Stralsund city arms on the other. This coin is a unique example of how currency can reflect the complex political history and cultural exchange of a region.
