Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, minted in 1637 during the reign of Frederick, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "FREDERICUS D(EI) G(RATIA) DUX" (Frederick, Duke by the grace of God) was mistakenly engraved as "FREDERICUS D(EI) G(RATIA) DVX" (Frederick, Duke by the grace of the Devil). This error was likely caused by a slip of the engraver's hand or a misreading of the original design, and it has become a notable feature of the coin among collectors.
