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 ruler of the duchy from 1608 to 1609. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his likeness on one side, while the other side features the coat of arms of the duchy. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the German States.
