Comment
The official coat of arms belonging to the city of Danzig has the crown placed inside of the shield, but it was mistakenly placed above of it by the designer in 1808.
Despite the mintage being quite high in 1812, not many of these pieces survived, which is why these coins were given a rarity of R2, meaning that somewhere between 3001-15000 examples survived until the present day.
Interesting fact
