Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Schilling coin from Grand duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (German States) is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick Francis I, who was the first Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin to issue coins with his own name and title. This coin, minted in 1826, features an image of the duke on one side and the Mecklenburg coat of arms on the other. It was made of Billon, an alloy of silver and copper, and weighs 3.30 grams. Despite its relatively small size, this coin is a significant piece of history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
