Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Pomerania-Stettin, minted in 1595 during the reign of John Frederick, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "FRIDERICUS DUX POMERANORUM" (Frederick, Duke of Pomerania) is misspelled as "FRIDERICUS DUX POMERANORVM" (Frederick, Duke of the Pomeranians). This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
