Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, minted in 1568 during the reign of Ulrich III, 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 used to represent the coat of arms of the Mecklenburg-Güstrow dynasty and can be seen on the reverse side of the coin.
