| Additional information |
The Pomeranian kwartnik was a fractional silver denomination introduced as small change during a period when the Duchy's monetary system was under persistent pressure from the dominance of the Brandenburg groschen and the Lübeck pfennig in regional trade. Pomerania's divided ducal lines — the Stettin and Wolgast branches — issued coins with enough variation in weight and fineness to cause chronic friction in local markets. At 0.54 grams, this piece sits at the lighter end of known examples, consistent with the gradual debasement traceable across the series through the late 14th and early 15th centuries.
