Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Hildburghausen, minted in 1809 during the reign of Frederick I, features an error in its design. The coin was meant to bear the image of the duke's crown, but due to a mistake in the minting process, the crown appears inverted, with the points facing downwards instead of upwards. This error has become a unique characteristic of the coin and makes it stand out among other coins from the same era.
