Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 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 1675, during the reign of Charles XI of Sweden, who was in the process of consolidating his power and expanding the Swedish Empire. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing economic and political influence of Sweden in the region, and it may have been used to help finance the military campaigns and infrastructure projects that were a part of Charles' expansionist policies. Despite the coin's potential historical significance, it is still a relatively rare and valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
