Interesting 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 1673-1674, during the reign of Charles XI of Sweden, who was attempting to assert his control over the region. The coin's minting was likely a way for the Swedish government to exert its authority and establish a new currency system in the region. Despite the coin's small size and relatively low value, it is a fascinating piece of history that provides insight into the complex political and economic dynamics of the time.
