Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Thaler - Frederick Augustus and Frederick William (Mule; Visit of the Ehrenbreitstein) ND (1815) from Duchy of Nassau (German States) made of Silver weighing 27.04 g is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on opposite sides, with Frederick Augustus on one side and Frederick William on the other. This design was known as a "mule" and was a result of a minting error, where two different dies were accidentally paired together. This error created a rare and highly sought-after variation among coin collectors.
