Interesting fact

The coin was issued in 1878, just a few years after the formation of the German Empire in 1871, and it features Frederick Francis II, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin at the time. The coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
