Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Pfenning coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin is that it features an image of Adolphus Frederick I, who was the first duke of the House of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and ruled from 1621 to 1622. Despite his short reign, he played a significant role in the history of the region and his image on the coin serves as a reminder of his legacy.
