Christina was six years old when she inherited the Swedish throne in 1632, and the regency council that governed in her name presided over Sweden's most aggressive territorial expansion — including the consolidation of Swedish Pomerania following the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. These thalers were struck under that Swedish administration of the Pomeranian duchy, a politically sensitive arrangement that required maintaining local coinage traditions while asserting Stockholm's authority.
She abdicated in 1654, which closes the date range on this type exactly.
