1 Witten

Stralsund spent much of the Seven Years' War under Prussian siege, and by 1763 — the year the Treaty of Paris and the Peace of Hubertusburg both concluded — the city's finances were badly strained. The Witten was an archaic north German denomination already fading from use across most of the region, and this issue reflects a municipality scraping together emergency small change from debased billon rather than relying on any central monetary authority.
