Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the Duchy of Pomerania, issued in 1494 during the reign of Bogislaw X, features an interesting error on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of the coat of arms of the Duchy, the coin bears an image of a mythical creature, believed to be a Griffin, which was likely a result of a mistake by the engraver. This error has made the coin a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
