Pomerania 1767-LDS 1/12 thaler
This specimen was lot 11116 in Stack's Bowers June 2026 World Premier Collectors Choice Auction (Copenhagen, June 2026), where it sold for €89 (about US$103). The catalog description[1] noted, "SWEDEN. Pomerania. 1/12 Taler, 1767-LDS. Stralsund Mint. Adolf Fredrik. NGC EF-40. From the L.E. Bruun Collection." This type was struck 1763 and 1767-68 along with a 1/48 thaler, 1/24 thaler, 1/3 thaler and 2/3 thaler. It is fairly common, suggesting that it was struck for several years with a frozen date. Sweden ceded her last holdings in Pomerania to Prussia at the Congress of Vienna in 1815.
