Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle (German States) made of Silver during the reign of Christian Louis (1654-1665) features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "CHRISTIANUS.LVDOVICVS.DUX.BRVNSVICENSIS.ET.LVNEBURGENSIS" contains a typo, with the letter "V" appearing twice in a row, which is a rare mistake in coin engraving. This error has made the coin a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
