2 Ducats - Charles XI

Charles XI's administration of Swedish Pomerania was defined largely by his "reduktion" policy — the systematic reclamation of crown lands that had been alienated to the nobility. By 1684, this program was being extended aggressively into the German territories, stripping Pomeranian aristocrats of estates granted during the Thirty Years' War settlement. Gold issues from this provincial mint in the 1680s were struck in small numbers, functioning as presentation and diplomatic pieces rather than circulating currency.

The .986 fineness is notably high even by contemporary Swedish ducal standards.
