Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1⁄12 Thaler coin from the Swedish dominion of Pomerania is that it was minted during a time of great change and conflict in the region. Charles XI, who ruled Sweden from 1681-1688, was involved in a series of wars with neighboring countries, including the Scanian War with Denmark and the Great Northern War with Russia. Despite these conflicts, the coinage during this period remained consistent and of high quality, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce in the region. The use of silver in the coinage also signifies the value placed on this precious metal during this time.
