| Additional information |
Magnus II and his brother Balthasar ruled Mecklenburg jointly following the division of the duchy after their father's death — a co-regency arrangement that was less a political innovation than a dynastic necessity imposed by the Mecklenburg partition tradition stretching back generations. The Dreiling, worth three pfennig, was the workhorse denomination of the region's small-change economy throughout the late fifteenth century.
Kunzel 24 distinguishes this type within a crowded field of nearly identical bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage from the region, where die identification remains the primary tool for attribution.
