Interesting fact
The ⅙ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Jülich-Berg, minted in 1717 during the reign of Charles Philip, features an error in its design. The coin's obverse (front side) bears the image of the duke, but his name is misspelled as "Carolus Philippus" instead of the correct "Carolus Philippus III." This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and was not corrected before the coins were minted and circulated. This mistake makes the coin a unique and interesting piece for collectors and historians.
