Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat - Frederick IV (Silver pattern strike) 1698 from Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp (German States) is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "FREDERICUS IV DUX SLESvicensis" contains a typo, with the letter "s" in "SLESvicensis" being written twice. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
