| Additional information |
John Albert I of Mecklenburg was among the earliest German princes to formally adopt Lutheranism, and his currency reforms of the 1550s reflect the administrative consolidation that followed. The Schilling issues of this period were part of a broader effort to standardize coinage across a duchy that had only recently reunified after decades of partition between the Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Güstrow lines.
Kunzel 104 B/e denotes a specific die pairing within a series that shows considerable variation — collectors working this type encounter multiple obverse and reverse combinations, and attribution without reference to Kunzel is unreliable.
