Comment
Mintmaster DHM - David Henrich MatthäusInteresting 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 1686, just a few years after the Swedish Empire had gained control of Pomerania through the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. This period saw a significant shift in the political and economic landscape of the region, with the Swedish Empire seeking to assert its dominance and impose its own currency and economic systems on the local population. Despite these changes, the 1 Witten coin remained a popular form of currency among the people of Pomerania, and it continues to be a valuable collector's item to this day.
