Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1/24 Thaler coin from Duchy of Pomerania-Rügenwalde is that it features an image of Bogislaw XIV, who was the last Duke of Pomerania and ruled from 1618 to 1621. Despite being a relatively small coin, it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Additionally, the coin's design and minting process were likely influenced by the political and economic climate of the region during the early 17th century.
