Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ Thaler coin from Grand duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1840, just a few years before the German Confederation was formed, which was a union of 39 German states that aimed to create a unified economic and political system. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the German states. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold (.896) and weighed 3.3g suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin at the time.
