Interesting fact

The 1 Tobiaspfennig coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt, made of copper in 1547, features an interesting error on its reverse side. The coin was minted with a misprinted date, showing the year as "1574" instead of "1547." This error makes the coin particularly valuable to collectors, as it provides a unique piece of history and a glimpse into the minting process of the time.
