1 Ducat

Stralsund's ducats of this period were struck under siege conditions. The city endured Wallenstein's brutal investment in 1628 — famously declaring he would take it "though it were chained to heaven" — and survived only through Swedish and Danish intervention. By 1632, Stralsund was a key Swedish base on the Pomeranian coast, and its municipal coinage reflected that precarious but defiant independence during the opening phase of Swedish dominance in the Thirty Years' War.

Fr#3367 is among the scarcer civic gold issues of northern Germany from this conflict period, with surviving examples skewed heavily toward cabinet specimens rather than anything that saw merchant use.
