| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a rampant griffin, the heraldic beast of Pomerania, facing left and supporting with its raised foreleg a tall column surmounted by a burning candle emitting radiant rays, symbolizing the enduring light of the Augsburg Confession. To the right of the column a tablet inscribed AUGUST CONFES identifies the religious reference. The upper circumferential legend reads COLLAPSAM FORTITER RESTITUIT, meaning 'He has boldly restored what had collapsed.' In the lower exergue a four-line Latin inscription commemorates the Treaty of Altranstädt concluded on 22 August 1707 and completed at Breslau on 8 February 1709, referencing the restoration of Silesian Lutheran rights. The overall composition reflects the commemorative character of this issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
1709 is the year Charles XII's military ambitions collapsed at Poltava, where Peter the Great's forces destroyed the Swedish army in one of the most decisive battles of the Northern War. Charles fled to Ottoman territory, leaving Sweden's Baltic empire functionally ungoverned for years. Pomerania, as the last significant Swedish foothold in northern Germany, continued issuing coinage in his name almost defiantly — this thaler among them.
Koppmann's census records for this type indicate extremely limited survival, which squares with the disrupted mint operations Pomerania endured following Poltava.
