Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Gute Pfennig 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 Pfennig" which translates to "Good Penny" in English. This coin was made of silver and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States during that time period.
