Comment
Minted in GrevesmühlenInteresting fact
The 2 Schillings coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, minted in 1567 during the reign of Ulrich III, features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. This symbol was commonly associated with strength, courage, and protection, and its inclusion on the coin may have been intended to convey the power and authority of the ruling dynasty.
