Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in the inscription. The Latin inscription on the reverse side of the coin reads "CHRISTIANVS ALBERTVS D:G:DUX SLESWICENSIS HOLTSATIAE ET STORMERIAE", which translates to "Christian Albert, Duke of Schleswig, Holstein, and Stormarn". However, the word "STORMERIAE" is misspelled as "STORMERIÆ", with the letter "I" being replaced by the letter "Æ". This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and can be considered a unique feature of this particular coin.
