| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Glückstaler" — literally a luck or fortune thaler — was a presentation striking rather than a coin intended for trade circulation. This triple-thaler issue from 1613 commemorates Adolphus Frederick, who had been installed as Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin just the year prior at age fifteen following a prolonged guardianship dispute within the Mecklenburg dynastic house. Pieces of this weight and character were typically distributed as gifts at court, and survival in any condition is uncommon precisely because they were preserved rather than spent.
Kunzel's classification at G 221 a distinguishes this among documented die states for the type.
