Interesting 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. The coin was issued in 1681, just a few years after the Swedish Empire had gained control of Pomerania through the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. This period saw significant political and economic upheaval, as the Swedish Empire sought to assert its control over the region and introduce new currency and economic systems. Despite these challenges, the 1/24 Thaler coin remained a widely used and valued form of currency throughout the region, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce in the area.
