Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Duke Ulrich III, who ruled the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow from 1562 until his death in 1603. The coin was minted during his reign, and it's interesting to note that Ulrich III was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and administration of his duchy, which included the introduction of new coinage. This coin is a tangible representation of his efforts and a testament to the economic and political changes that were taking place in the region during that time.
