Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin is that it features an image of Frederick William, the ruler of the duchy, on one side, and an image of the Mecklenburg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Frederick William's reign from 1707 to 1708 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. The use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and historical significance, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
