Comment
Mintmaster - Heinrich Johann HilleInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Witten 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 1666, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Europe, including the German States. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Charles XI, who was the King of Sweden at the time and had recently inherited the throne. This coin is a small silver coin that weighs only 0.76 grams, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
