Interesting fact

The 1 Dreiling coin from the Principality of Mecklenburg, which was minted during the reign of Albert VII (1523-1525), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the ruling family, it depicts a stylized image of a wild boar, which was a common animal in the region at the time. This unique design choice was likely intended to symbolize the region's connection to the natural world and its rich hunting traditions.
