Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs - Gustav III 1776-1808 coin from the Swedish dominion of Pomerania is that it features an image of King Gustav III of Sweden on one side and an image of a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Pomerania on the other side. This coin was minted during a time when Sweden was trying to assert its control over Pomerania, which was a region in northern Germany that had been under Swedish rule since the 17th century. The coin's design reflects this political context and serves as a symbol of the power struggle between Sweden and Germany during that time.
