Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, minted in 1618 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 highly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history.
