1⁄48 Thaler, 1 Schilling Swedish Occupation

Stralsund had been under Swedish control since 1648, when the Peace of Westphalia awarded Swedish Pomerania to the Crown. By 1715, that arrangement was unraveling. Charles XII's disastrous campaigns had left Sweden militarily exhausted, and a coalition of Prussia, Denmark, and Saxony-Poland was closing in on the city. Stralsund struck this coin during the final siege, which ended in December 1715 when the fortress fell — one of the last significant Swedish positions on the German mainland.

The city retained its own minting rights under Swedish suzerainty, hence the municipal issuer designation rather than a Swedish royal attribution.
