Interesting fact

The Albert VII Salvatortaler coin from the Principality of Mecklenburg is notable for its unique design, which features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Mecklenburg and the motto "SALVATOR MUNDI" (Savior of the World) surrounding the image of Albert VII. This design was meant to symbolize the idea that the ruler was chosen by God to protect and save his people.
