Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Ducats - Frederick III (Largesse issue) 1648 from Denmark is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "FREDERICUS III DEI GRATIA" contains a typo, with the letter "E" being engraved upside down. This error was not corrected in any subsequent mintages, making it a unique characteristic of this particular coin.
