Comment
KM# 217.2 with slightly larger head.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Swedish occupation of Pomerania is that it features an image of King Charles X Gustaf on one side and a depiction of the Pomeranian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time when Sweden was seeking to assert its dominance over the region, and the inclusion of the Pomeranian coat of arms was a symbol of the kingdom's claim to the territory. Despite being minted over 350 years ago, this coin remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians alike.
