Interesting fact
The 2 Schillings coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp, minted during the reign of Christian Albert (1681-1682), features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "Fides et Justitia" (Faith and Justice) is misspelled as "Fides et Justicia," with the word "Justitia" being spelled incorrectly. This error has made the coin a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
