Interesting fact
The 2 Mark Dansk coin from Denmark, minted in 1692 during the reign of Christian V, features an error in the legend. The coin was intended to bear the inscription "CHRISTIANVS V D G Rex Daniæ" (Christian V, by the grace of God, King of Denmark), but due to a mistake in the engraving process, the word "D G" (short for "Dei Gratia," or "by the grace of God") was accidentally omitted. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
