Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the Principality of Mecklenburg, minted during the reign of Albert VII (1528-1529), was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used for circulation coins at the time. This decision to use silver was likely due to the desire to create a more valuable and prestigious coin, reflecting the wealth and power of the Principality of Mecklenburg.
