Comment
Mintmark Leaf - (Bernhard Jungelingk, Mintmaster in Gadebusch 1542-1570/71)Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Principality of Mecklenburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 14.51g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of John Albert I in 1549, and it features an intricate design that showcases the coat of arms of the Mecklenburg dynasty on one side and the image of the ruler on the other. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in historical currency.
