Comment
As part of their campaigns in Germany during the Thirty Years War, the Swedes, under the command of Axel Gustafsson Oxenstierna and Gustav Horn, besieged the Catholic city of Osnabrück in 1633.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was created during a time of economic hardship and war, specifically the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) which had a profound impact on the German States, including the City of Osnabrück. The coin's design, featuring Francis William of Wartenberg, was a symbol of hope and stability during a time of great uncertainty.
