Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Gustav Adolphus 1666-1668 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 has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
