Comment
Kunzel vergl. 16 Slg. Gaettens 85Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sechsling coin from the Principality of Mecklenburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the ruling dynasty, the House of Mecklenburg, which is placed above the main image of the two dukes, Magnus II and Balthasar. This shield is a symbol of the duchy's independence and sovereignty, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued by neighboring territories.
