Interesting fact
The 1 Speciedaler coin from Denmark, minted in 1682 during the reign of Christian V, features an error in its design. The coin was meant to have a portrait of the king on one side and a depiction of the Danish coat of arms on the other. However, due to a mistake by the engraver, the coat of arms was accidentally reversed, resulting in a mirrored image of the correct design. This error has become known as the "Reversed Arms" variety and is highly sought after by collectors, making it a unique and valuable addition to any collection.
