Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow is that it features an image of Charles I, who was the ruling duke at the time of its minting in 1607. This coin was a standard circulation coin, made of silver, and was used as a medium of exchange in the German States. Despite being over 400 years old, some of these coins have survived in good condition and are highly sought after by collectors today.
