Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Frederick III (Largesse issue) 1648 from Denmark is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "FREDERICUS III DEI GRATIA" is misspelled as "FREDERICUS III DEI GRAatia" with the word "GRATIA" (meaning "grace") misspelled as "GRAatia". This error makes the coin particularly unique and valuable among collectors.
