Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 16 Gute Groschen coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is that it features an image of Adolphus Frederick III, who was the reigning duke at the time the coin was minted in 1747. The coin's design also includes the coat of arms of the duchy and the motto "Gute Groschen," which translates to "good groats," a reference to the coin's denomination.
