Interesting fact

The 6 Groschen coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia, minted in 1622 during the reign of George William, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "FRIDERICUS WILHELMUS" (Frederick William) is misspelled as "FRIDERICUS GUILHELMUS" (Frederick William). This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and was not corrected before the coins were minted and circulated. This error makes the coin a unique and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
