Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was minted during the reign of Christian Louis II in 1754. It's made of silver and features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of Mecklenburg-Schwerin on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in Europe, as the traditional medieval system of currency was being replaced by a more modern system based on silver and gold. This coin represents a transitional period in the history of currency and is a unique piece of numismatic history.
