Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, minted in 1619 during the reign of Christian, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "D(ei) G(ratia)" (By the grace of God) was mistakenly engraved as "D(ei) G(ratia)S" (By the grace of Gods). This error has made the coin a prized collector's item among numismatists, as it is a unique example of a mistake on a coin that was not corrected before it was released into circulation.
