Comment
Mintmaster DS - Daniel SyvertzInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/48 Thaler coin from the Swedish dominion of Pomerania is that it was minted during a time of great change and conflict in the region. Charles XI, who ruled Sweden from 1661-1694, was instrumental in the formation of the Swedish Empire, which expanded its territories in the Baltic region during his reign. The coin, made of silver and weighing 1.11g, was likely used in trade and commerce throughout the region, and its design may have reflected the political and cultural influences of the time.
