"BREMEN, BREMEN UND VERDEN, HERZOGTUM UNTER SCHWEDEN, Karl XI. 1660-1697. Reichstaler 1673, Stade. Ahlström 11 (R); Dav-6282; Bahrfeldt 34. R Kl. Schrötlingsfehler, sehr schön. Die Selbständigkeit des Erzbistums Bremen endete im 30jährigen Krieg 1621/1622 durch dänische Administration und 1632 durch schwedische Besetzung. Der schwedische Besitz Bremens sowie des Bistums Verden wurde im Westfälischen Frieden von 1648 anerkannt, gleichzeitig wurden die beiden Kirchengebiete in das Herzogtum Bremen und Verden umgewandelt. Erst im Nordischen Krieg (1700-1712) eroberten dänische Truppen die nördlichen Landesteile, während Hannover 1712 Verden besetzte, 1715 das Herzogtum kaufte und 4 Jahre später die schwedischen Rechte mit 1 Million Taler abfand. (duchy of Bremen and Verden, under Swedish rule, Charles XI, 1660-97, thaler of 1673, Stade mint. Scarce, minor planchet defects, very fine. The independence of the Archbishopric of Bremen ended in the Thirty Years' War in 1621-1622 by the Danish administration, and in 1632 by Swedish occupation. The Swedish possession of Bremen as well as the bishopric of Verden was recognized in the Peace of Westphalia from 1648, when the two church provinces were converted into the duchy of Bremen and Verden. It was only in the Northern War (1700-1712) that Danish troops conquered the northern parts of the duchy, while Hannover occupied Verden in 1712, bought the Duchy in 1715, and four years later, the Swedes' rights for 1 million thalers.)"
