Interesting fact
The 2 Thalers coin from the Duchy of Pomerania-Stettin, minted during the reign of Philip II (1614-1616), features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "PROVIDEN(t)IAE" is misspelled as "PROVIDEN(t)IANAE," with an extra letter "I" added at the end. This error has been identified as a "die-engraver's mistake" and is considered a unique feature of this particular coin. (Source: "The Error Coinage of the German States" by R.E. Kline)
