Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Gute Groschen coin from the Swedish dominion of Pomerania is that it was minted during a time of great change and conflict in the region. The coin was minted in 1760-1761, during the reign of Adolph Frederick, who was the King of Sweden from 1751 until his death in 1771. During this time, the Swedish Empire was engaged in a series of wars, including the Seven Years' War, which lasted from 1756 to 1763 and involved many European powers. Despite the conflicts, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the economic and cultural exchange that took place during this time period.
