Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1691-1692 Charles XI 1/24 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Bremen-Verden under Swedish possession is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles XI of Sweden, who was instrumental in introducing a new currency system in the Swedish territories, including the German States. The 1/24 Thaler coin was a part of this new system and was used widely in the region. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not as valuable as other coins made of the same metal, and it was primarily used for small transactions. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the economic and political history of the region.
