Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was a small state in northern Germany, and Adolphus Frederick III was its ruler from 1748 to 1749. During this time, Europe was experiencing political and social turmoil, with the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) and the Enlightenment (1685-1814) both having a significant impact on the continent. Despite these challenges, the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as this 1/12 Thaler.
