1⁄24 Thaler - Ulrich of Pomerania

Ulrich of Pomerania served as Bishop of Cammin from 1618 until his death in 1622, the last of the Pomeranian dukes to hold that see before the Thirty Years' War — which broke out the very year this coin began production — fatally disrupted the region's ecclesiastical and political order. Cammin's status as a Lutheran prince-bishopric made it a target in the broader confessional struggle, and the diocese was formally secularized under the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.

Billon issues of this type circulated in a region about to be fought over by Sweden, Brandenburg, and the Empire simultaneously.
