SWEDEN: POMERANIA: Karl XI, 1660-1697, AR 1/48 thaler, Anklam, ND (1690s), Ahlström-204, countermarked crowned A within shield on 1690 Pomerania host, VF on VG host, RR. Anklam, a former Hanseatic League city in northern Germany. After the Thirty Years' War, Anklam became part of Swedish Pomerania in 1648. The southern parts of the town were ceded to Prussia by the 1720 Treaty of Stockholm, while a smaller section north of the Peene remained Swedish. It was damaged again during the Seven Years' War in the 1750s and '60s, with its fortifications being effectively dismantled in 1762. Sweden yielded its remaining part of the town in 1815, when all of Western Pomerania became part of the Prussian province of Pomerania.
