Interesting fact
The 4 Groschen coin from Anhalt-Dessau, minted in 1621 during the reign of John Casimir, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "Soli Deo Gloria" (Glory to God Alone) was mistakenly engraved as "Soli Deo Glori" (Glory to God), omitting the word "a" (which means "to"). This error has become a distinctive feature of the coin and is highly sought after by collectors.
