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 between 1668 and 1670, during the reign of Charles XI of Sweden, who was attempting to assert Swedish control over the region. This was a time of great tension between Sweden and the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin may have been used as a way to promote Swedish influence and assert its authority over the region. Despite this, the coin was ultimately minted in small quantities and is now a rare and valuable collector's item.
