Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1622-1623 Frederick III 1⁄96 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "FRIEDERICUS III D:G:DUX SLESWICENSIS" contains a typo, with the letter "S" appearing twice in a row. 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.
