Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from County of Barby (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.45g, issued during the reign of Wolfgang II in 1615, features an error in its minting process. The coin was mistakenly struck with a reverse die that was intended for a different coin, resulting in an incorrect image on the back side of the coin. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history.
