| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick William ruled Mecklenburg-Schwerin for less than two years before dying in 1713 at age seventeen, making his coinage among the shortest-reign issues of the German thalers. The 1707–1708 dating on this piece reflects the early years of his minority rule, when regency governance complicated ducal administration. Mecklenburg remained entangled in the Great Northern War's peripheral pressures during this period, with Swedish and Danish forces operating across the broader Baltic region.
The Dav GT II:2441 reference places this squarely in Davenport's German Talers grouping for minor states — a category where surviving populations are frequently small and auction appearances infrequent.
