Mecklenburg-Schwerin Coins under Frederick Francis II
The coins of Frederick Francis II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, date back to the period between 1842 and 1883. During his reign, the grand duchy experienced significant changes, particularly with the introduction of the Reichsmark from 1871. This led to the minting of gold coins such as the 20 Mark and 10 Mark, as well as silver coins like the 2 Mark. Notable coins also include the silver Taler, which were minted in the early years of his rule.
Frederick Francis II was known for his liberal stance and reforms, especially during the 1848/49 revolution. His coins are highly valued among collectors today.
