Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennige coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, minted in 1761 during the reign of Frederick III, features an error in the inscription on the obverse side. The Latin inscription "FRIEDRICH III D G DUX SAXON" is misspelled as "FRIEDRICH III D G DVX SAXON," with the letter "V" instead of "U." This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and was not corrected before the coins were minted. As a result, the coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
