Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, minted in 1688 during the reign of Gustav Adolph, features an error in its inscription. The Latin inscription on the coin reads "GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS DUX MECKLENBURGI," which translates to "Gustav Adolph, Duke of Mecklenburg." However, the word "MECKLENBURGI" is misspelled, with the letter "B" appearing twice in a row. This error has made the coin a prized collector's item among numismatists and historians.
