| Additional information |
Demmin's civic coinage is closely tied to its position as a fortified Hanseatic town on the Peene River, where local commercial activity demanded small-change denominations that ducal and episcopal authorities rarely supplied reliably. The billon denier was the practical answer to that gap.
Koppmann's listing of this type reflects how thinly documented Pomeranian civic issues remain — most surviving specimens passed through very few collections before reaching modern catalogs.
