Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg, minted in 1680-1681, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "Friedrich Casimir D G" was mistakenly engraved as "Friedrich Casimir D C", with the letter "C" instead of "G". This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
