| Additional information |
Swedish Pomerania occupied an awkward administrative position in the 1670s — nominally a Swedish possession since Westphalia in 1648, yet perpetually contested by Brandenburg. Charles XI was still a minor under regency government when earlier ducats of this type were struck, only assuming personal rule in 1672. The Pomeranian mint at Stettin operated with considerable autonomy, and the .2 variety distinction in KM#257 reflects documented obverse die differences rather than a change in issuing authority.
The Brandenburg invasion of 1674–75 would effectively shut down Swedish Pomeranian minting for years. These ducats belong to the last coherent production window before that disruption.
