Comment
Minted in GrevesmühlenInteresting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, minted in 1577 during the reign of Ulrich III, features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This symbol was used as a representation of the dual nature of the ruler, combining the strength and courage of a lion with the wisdom and sharp vision of an eagle.
