Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Gute Pfennigs coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is that it features an image of Adolphus Frederick IV, who was the reigning duke at the time the coin was minted in 1793. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which lasted from 1752 to 1794. The coin's design was created by the artist C.F. Stüve, and it shows the duke's profile in a classical style, surrounded by an ornate border. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a relatively inexpensive and durable metal. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
