Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1683 Albert III 1/12 Thaler from Saxe-Coburg is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "SAXONIAE DUCATUS" (Duchy of Saxony) is misspelled as "SAXONIAE DUCATU" (without the final "S" on the end). This error has been noted by collectors and numismatists, making the coin a unique and interesting piece of history.
