| Additional information |
Stralsund spent most of the seventeenth century as a Swedish possession — ceded after the Thirty Years' War at the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 — and this small silver issue belongs to that occupation period, struck when the city operated its mint under Swedish suzerainty while retaining considerable municipal autonomy. The prolonged eleven-year span of this type reflects steady local demand rather than any single political event.
The Ahlström rarity designation warrants attention: surviving examples are genuinely scarce, not merely catalogued as such.
