Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Anhalt-Harzgerode, minted between 1695 and 1696, features an interesting error on its reverse side. The coin's designer, accidentally engraved the number "6" twice on the reverse side, resulting in an incorrect date of "1696" instead of "1695". This error has become a unique characteristic of the coin, making it stand out among other coins of its kind.
