Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1703 Charles Frederick 1/48 Thaler from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "FIDELITAS" (meaning "fidelity" or "loyalty") is misspelled as "FIDELITAD," with the letter "D" appearing twice. This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and has become a distinctive feature of the coin, making it stand out among other coins from the same series.
