Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers - Frederick V 1639 coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle (German States) is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "FREDERICUS V D G DUX BRVNSVICENSIS ET LVNEBVRGENSIS" contains a typo, with the letter "V" appearing twice in a row. This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and can be found on many of the coins minted during this time period. Despite the error, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
