Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sechsling coin from the Principality of Mecklenburg is that it features a unique combination of two rulers, Magnus II and Balthasar, on its obverse side. This is a rare example of a coin that depicts two co-rulers, which was a common practice in some German states during the Middle Ages. The coin's silver content and the fact that it was widely used in circulation also add to its historical significance and value among collectors.
