1 Örtug - Erik of Pommern Åbo

Erik of Pomerania — king simultaneously of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden under the Kalmar Union — issued these small silver coins from the Åbo mint in Finland as part of a broader effort to assert monetary control across his Scandinavian territories. His reign was turbulent enough that Swedish nobles eventually deposed him in 1439, the same year this issue ceases. The Åbo mint itself was one of the few operating in the Swedish realm during this period, serving the eastern Baltic trade networks where small-denomination silver moved in volume.
