Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from the City of Stralsund (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.91g during the Swedish Occupation (1674-1685) is interesting because it was used as a means of payment during a time of political and economic change. The coin was issued during the reign of Swedish King Charles XI, who was attempting to assert his control over the region. Despite the political tensions, the coin remained a widely accepted form of currency, demonstrating the importance of currency in facilitating trade and commerce during times of conflict.
