Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Duchy of Pomerania-Stettin was a small state in northern Germany that was constantly struggling to maintain its independence and prosperity in the face of larger and more powerful neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the duchy was able to issue a number of coins during this period, including the 2 Schillings coin featuring Bogislaw XIV, which was made of silver and weighed 1.09 grams. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Pomerania-Stettin during a time of great upheaval.
