Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Ducats - Gustav II Adolphus 1632 coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "Friedrich III" was mistakenly engraved instead of "Gustav II Adolphus," which is the name of the actual ruler depicted on the coin. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
