Comment
Mintmaster HIH - Heinrich Johann HilleInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 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 1671-1681, was instrumental in the Scanian War (1675-1679) and the subsequent peace treaty with Denmark, which led to the transfer of the province of Pomerania from Denmark to Sweden. This coin, minted during Charles' reign, serves as a tangible reminder of the complex history and political shifts that took place in the region during that time.
