Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1753-1754 1/12 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for "Landmünze," which means "country coin" in German) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to distinguish the coin from other thalers issued by the same duchy during the same period.
