| Additional information |
Swedish Pomerania was under intense financial strain during the early 1670s, caught between the demands of Stockholm's Baltic imperial ambitions and the costs of maintaining a garrisoned territory surrounded by hostile German princes. Charles XI was still a minor when the earliest of these pieces were struck, with the regency council effectively directing policy. The 1/3 Thaler denomination was a practical concession to the North German monetary system — Swedish riksdaler fractions alone would not circulate freely in Pomeranian markets.
The Stade and Stettin mints both produced issues for Swedish-controlled territories in this period, complicating attribution of individual dies.
