Comment
Mintmaster: Georg KrukenbergInteresting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, minted in 1619 during the reign of Christian, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTUM" (May the name of the Lord be blessed) was mistakenly engraved as "SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTVM" with the letter "M" instead of "N". This error has become a distinctive feature of the coin and is highly sought after by collectors.
