1⁄24 Thaler - Gustav Adolphus

Gustav Adolphus of Mecklenburg-Güstrow ruled a duchy that had been devastated by the Thirty Years' War — a conflict that left Mecklenburg among the most thoroughly plundered territories in the Empire. By 1692, the duchy was nearing the end of its independent existence; Gustav Adolphus died without a male heir in 1695, and Mecklenburg-Güstrow was subsequently divided between the Schwerin and Strelitz lines under the 1701 Hamburg Convention, ending Güstrow as a distinct ruling entity.

Kunzel 523a distinguishes this variety within what is otherwise a thinly documented late emission from a minor mint in its final years of operation.
