1 Goldgulden - Philip II

Philip II of Pomerania-Stettin ruled the duchy during one of its most precarious periods — the male Hohenzollern-Stettin line was visibly dying out, and Brandenburg had been pressing its inheritance claim for decades. This gulden was struck in the final years before Philip's death in 1618, which effectively triggered the succession crisis that Brandenburg would eventually win, absorbing Stettin into the electorate by 1637 after Swedish intervention complicated the transfer during the Thirty Years' War.

Fr#2089 is among the scarcer Pomeranian gold issues, reflecting the duchy's limited gold-striking activity in this period.
