Interesting fact

The 2 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Pomerania-Wolgast, minted in 1621 during the reign of Philip Julius III, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "POMERANIAE DUCATUS" (Duchy of Pomerania) is misspelled as "POMERANIAE DUCATU" (Duchy of Pomeranian). This error has made the coin a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
