Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs coin from the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is that it features an image of Frederick William, the reigning grand duke at the time, on one side, and a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Mecklenburg-Strelitz on the other. This coin was minted during a time of economic and political change in the region, as the German states were in the process of forming a unified nation. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
