Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg, minted in 1679 during the reign of John Frederick, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "DVX LVNEBVRG CALenberg" (Duke of Lüneburg Calenberg) is misspelled as "DVX LVNEBVRG CALenbvrg," with the letter "n" appearing twice in the word "Calenberg." This error has become a notable feature of the coin and is often mentioned by collectors and numismatists.
