Interesting fact
The A Pattern 1 Ducat - Christina (Mule Pattern) 1647 from City of Erfurt (German States) is a rare and unique coin, with only a few known examples existing today. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a mismatched obverse and reverse die, which is known as a "mule" pattern. This occurs when a coin is struck using a die that was not intended for that particular coin, resulting in a mismatch between the obverse and reverse designs. This error can be seen in the coin's design, where the obverse features the image of Christina, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the City of Erfurt. This mistake makes the coin particularly valuable and sought after by collectors.
