Comment
Only 3 examples known.Interesting fact
The 3 Thalers coin from the Duchy of Pomerania-Stettin, minted in 1617 during the reign of Philip II, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "D(ei) G(ratia)" (By the Grace of God) was mistakenly engraved as "D(ei) G(ratia)S" (S likely stands for Stettin, the capital city of the duchy). This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
