Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - Leopold I (Kuttenberg) 1669 coin is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "Sit Nomen Domini Benedictum" (May the name of the Lord be blessed) was mistakenly engraved as "Sit Nomen Domini Benedicum" (May the name of the Lord be cursed). This error was not corrected until a later minting, making coins with the mistake highly sought after by collectors.
