| Additional information |
Frederick II of Mecklenburg-Schwerin ruled during the Seven Years' War, when the duchy's finances were under severe strain from both Prussian and Swedish military movements through the region. Small billon fractions like this were essential stopgaps as full silver coinage became increasingly difficult to sustain — the two-year window of 1760–61 almost certainly reflects a specific fiscal pressure rather than a routine minting cycle.
