"POMMERN, HERZOGTUM NACH DER LANDESVEREINIGUNG VON 1625 Bogislaw XIV. (1620-) 1625-1637. Reichstaler 1634, Köslin. Mit C ∙ ET ∙ V ∙ in der Vorderseitenumschrift. Slg. Hahn (Auktion Künker 224) 1351.

On the lapse of the dynasty in 1625, the duchy was contested between Sweden and Brandenburg until they agreed to partition it by the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. As Sweden gradually weakened, Brandenburg (later Prussia) gradually nibbled away at the Swedish portion until the remainder was seized in 1815.

Recorded mintage: unknown.
