Comment
Mintmaster DHM - David Henrich MatthäusInteresting 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 minted during the reign of Charles XI of Sweden, who ruled from 1685-1688. During this time, the Swedish Empire was engaged in a series of wars with neighboring countries, including the Great Northern War with Russia, which lasted from 1700-1721. Despite these conflicts, the coin remained a standard circulation coin in the German States, a testament to the enduring economic and cultural ties between the regions.
