Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, minted in 1623 during the reign of John Albert II, features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This symbol was commonly used in the heraldry of the region and represents strength, courage, and protection.
