Interesting fact

The 1 Albus coin from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel, minted in 1670, features an interesting error on its reverse side. The coin was minted with a mistake in the die, resulting in the number "7" being printed upside down. This error has made the coin a rare and unique collector's item among numismatists.
