1⁄24 Thaler Dreipölker - Ulrich

The Bishopric of Cammin — a small ecclesiastical territory on the Baltic coast of Pomerania — issued coinage sporadically, and 1621 placed it squarely in the monetary chaos of the Kipper- und Wipperzeit, the currency debasement crisis that swept the Holy Roman Empire between roughly 1619 and 1623. Mints across the Empire raced to strike underweight small silver, exploiting exchange rate differentials before the bubble collapsed. Cammin was no exception.

Bishop Ulrich von Brandenburg, the issuing authority here, held the see during a period when Pomerania's future was already contested between Brandenburg and Sweden — a dispute that would outlast him and eventually extinguish the bishopric entirely after 1648.
