Interesting fact
The 1 Sechsling coin from the Principality of Mecklenburg, made of silver and minted in 1598 during the reign of Ulrich III, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols of the principality, the coin bears an image of a mythical creature known as the "Mecklenburg Lion." This creature is depicted as a lion with a large, spreading mane and a crown on its head, and is said to represent the strength and power of the Mecklenburg dynasty. The inclusion of this unique design element makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time period and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
