Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat - Frederick II (Silver pattern strike) 1704 from Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (German States) is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "FREDERICUS II D G DUX SAXONIAE" contains a typo, with the letter "G" appearing twice. This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
