Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Ernest Augustus 1694 from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg (German States) coin is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "ERNESTVS AUGUSTVS D G DUX BRVNSVICENSIS ET LVNEBURGENSIS" contains a typo, with the letter "V" appearing twice in the word "BRVNSVICENSIS". This error was not corrected in any of the mint's subsequent reissues of the coin, making it a unique and interesting feature of this particular coin.
