Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Witten - Charles XII 1707 coin from Swedish dominion of Pomerania (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles XII, who was the King of Sweden from 1697 until his death in 1718. During his reign, Sweden was involved in a series of wars, including the Great Northern War, which lasted from 1700 to 1721 and involved several European powers.
