Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from County of Rantzau (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.99g, issued during the reign of Christian I (1656-1657), features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "Soli Deo Gloria" (Glory to God Alone) was mistakenly engraved as "Soli Deo Glori" (Glory to God), omitting the word "a" at the end. This error was corrected in later mintages, making the mistake a unique characteristic of this particular coin.
