The Protestant population largely welcomed the Swedish king as a liberator after years of restriction imposed under the Edict of Restitution. Under Swedish occupation, Augsburg-based mint was placed at Gustav Adolf-based disposal and strike gold and silver coins in his name, including ducats and talents wearing the Swedish royal arms together with the Augsburg pine-cone emblem, as on the example offered here.
