Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was one of the German states that adopted the gold standard in the late 19th century, and this coin was minted as part of that transition. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice at the time, as it was a more affordable and accessible metal than gold. Despite the coin's relatively low denomination, it is still a valuable collector's item today due to its historical significance and rarity.
