Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The coin was introduced in 1846, just a few years after the Grand Duchy had joined the German Customs Union, which had led to an increase in trade and economic growth in the region. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of Grand Duke George, who was known for his efforts to modernize the country's infrastructure and economy. This coin, therefore, serves as a tangible reminder of a significant period in the history of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
