Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Schillings 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 1662-1670, was a powerful and influential leader who sought to expand Sweden's territories and strengthen its economy. The coin was likely used to facilitate trade and commerce during this time, and its silver content would have made it a valuable and sought-after currency. Despite the challenges and uncertainties of the time, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Pomerania and the surrounding regions.
