Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, minted during the reign of Gustav Adolphus (1671-1689), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Mecklenburg and the motto "Fürchte Gott, Liebe Vaterland" (Fear God, Love Fatherland) inscribed above it. This motto reflects the importance of faith and patriotism during that time period.
