Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gulden - Frederick Casimir 1668 coin from the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "FIDELITAS CONSTANTIA" ("Fidelity and Constancy") is misspelled as "FIDELITAS COSNTANTIA," with the letter "S" appearing twice in the word "Constantia." This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and has become a distinctive feature of the coin, making it stand out among other coins from the same series.
