Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅙ Speciedaler - Frederik III (Largesse issue) 1648 from Denmark is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "Felicitas Publica" (meaning "Public Happiness") was mistakenly engraved as "Felicitas Privata" (meaning "Private Happiness"). This error was not corrected, and the coin was still issued with the mistake. This error makes the coin particularly unique and interesting to collectors.
