SWEDEN. Pomerania. 2 Ducats, 1658. Szczecin Mint. Karl X Gustav. NGC AU-58.
Fr-2109; KM-222; SB-29; SG-23; Hagander-222; Bruun auction-1211; Bruun-12114. Weight: 6.90 gms. Mintmaster: Ulrich Butkau. A great RARITY, this nicely presented 2 Ducats from the period of Swedish Occupation of Pomerania delivers good luster, with sharp details throughout. Only a light touch of wear is seen on the elevated portions of the design, with limited strike weakness. Some minor disturbances on the edge are also noted for completeness. A popular issue, due to the crossover appeal between Sweden, Poland, and Germany; this coin stands at the confluence of these nation's histories, and provides a historical memento of the Swedish Occupation of Pomerania.
