Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Frederick I 1690 from Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (German States) coin is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "FRIEDERICUS.I.D.G.DVX.SAXONIAE" contains a typo, with the letter "V" appearing twice in a row. This error was not corrected in subsequent mintings, making it a unique characteristic of this particular coin.
