Interesting fact
The 1 Dreiling coin from the Principality of Mecklenburg, which was minted during the reign of Albert VII (1503-1547), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols associated with the ruling family, this coin bears an image of a wild boar, which was a popular game animal in the region at the time. This unique design choice reflects the cultural and economic significance of hunting and wild game management in the German States during the early modern period.
