Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Charles XI 1661 coin from Swedish dominion of Pomerania (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great change and conflict in the region. The coin was issued in 1661, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Europe, including the Swedish dominion of Pomerania. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin was made with high-quality gold (.986) and weighs 6.63 grams, indicating the value and importance placed on it by the ruling powers. This coin serves as a tangible reminder of the complex history and cultural exchange that took place in the region during this period.
