Interesting fact

The 1 Pfenning coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg, minted in 1761 during the reign of Adam Frederick of Seinsheim, 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 BENEDICTI" (May the name of the Lord be blessed). This error has made the coin a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
