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 in the region. The coin was minted in 1671, just a few years after the Swedish Empire had gained control of Pomerania through the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. This marked a significant shift in the political landscape of the region, as Pomerania had previously been under German rule. The coin's minting also coincided with the reign of Charles XI of Sweden, who ruled from 1660 to 1697 and is remembered for his efforts to centralize power and modernize the Swedish state. The coin's design and production were likely influenced by these historical events, making it a unique and interesting artifact from this time period.
