Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 4 Pfenning - Fredrich William (Copper pattern strike) 1814 from Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) made of Copper weighing 9.33 g is that it features an error in the inscription. The coin was minted with the incorrect spelling of the prince's name, "Fredrich" instead of "Friedrich". This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
