Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, issued in 1693 during the reign of Gustav Adolphus, features an interesting error on its reverse side. The coin's mintmaster, accidentally or intentionally, engraved the year "1693" upside down, resulting in a unique and easily recognizable feature that sets this coin apart from others. This error has become a prized characteristic among collectors, making it a highly sought-after piece in the world of numismatics.
