Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - John Frederick I 1625 coin from Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an error in the inscription. The coin was minted with the phrase "FRIEDRICH DER ERSTE" (Frederick the First) instead of "JOHANN FRIEDRICH I" (John Frederick I), which was the actual name of the ruler depicted on the coin. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
