Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Sechsling coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow is that it features a unique design element - a stylized portrait of John Albert II, the ruler of the duchy at the time, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the duchy's strength and resilience, as well as its connection to the natural world.
