1 Ducat - Christina

Christina was seventeen in 1641 and had been Queen of Sweden — and thus sovereign of Swedish Pomerania — since the age of six, following Gustav II Adolf's death at Lützen in 1632. Swedish Pomerania had come under firm Crown control through the ongoing Thirty Years' War, and ducats struck there functioned partly as diplomatic currency, circulating among the military and mercantile networks that sustained Sweden's German campaigns. The Stralsund mint handled this issue.

Christina would abdicate in 1654, convert to Catholicism, and leave Sweden permanently — making her coinage from the early regency years a notably compressed chapter.
