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 political upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Queen Christina of Sweden, who was known for her ambitious political and military campaigns, including her attempt to conquer the Holy Roman Empire. Despite these efforts, the coin still bears the image of the Swedish royal coat of arms on one side and the Pomeranian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the complex political landscape of the time.
