Comment
Dated 1689 but minted in 1692Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS DUX" is misspelled as "GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS DVX," with the letter "V" instead of "U." This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and was not corrected before the coins were minted and circulated. Despite the error, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
