Comment
The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was a territory in Northern Germany, held by the younger line of the House of Mecklenburg residing in Neustrelitz. Like the neighbouring Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, it was a sovereign member state of the German Confederation and became a federated state of the North German Confederation and finally of the German Empire upon the unification of 1871. After World War I and the German Revolution of 1918–19 it was succeeded by the Free State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennige coin from the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, minted between 1832 and 1847, features an interesting design element - the obverse side bears the image of Grand Duke George, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. This design was used for several denominations of coins during George's reign, and the 3 Pfennige coin is one of the most widely available and collectible versions.
