Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Gustav II Adolphus 1632 from Free city of Augsburg (German States) coin is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "Augsburgi Liberae Civitatis" (meaning "Free City of Augsburg") was mistakenly engraved as "Augsburgi Liberae Civitas" (meaning "Free City of Augsburg"). This error has become a distinctive feature of the coin and is now highly sought after by collectors.
