Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Frederick Christian 1702 coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "Soli Deo Gloria" (meaning "Glory to God alone") was mistakenly engraved as "Soli Deo Glori" (without the final "a" on "Gloria"). This error has become a distinctive feature of the coin and is often used by collectors to authenticate its authenticity.
