Additional information

Swedish Pomerania's monetary output in the 1680s was shaped directly by Charles XI's reduction policy — the systematic reclamation of alienated crown lands from the nobility that reshaped Swedish imperial finances after the near-disaster of the regency period. The ⅔ Thaler denomination itself was a concession to north German commercial reality: Swedish riksdaler coinage didn't circulate easily in Pomeranian markets, and the ⅔ Thaler (equivalent to the gulden or 2/3 Reichsthaler) was the dominant everyday silver denomination across the German states.

Dav SG#765 distinguishes the specifically Pomeranian issues from the broader Swedish imperial coinage of the same reign.
