Interesting fact

The 6 Pfennigs coin from the Duchy of Pomerania-Wolgast, minted in 1622 during the reign of Philip Julius III, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "POMERANIAE DUCATUS" (Duchy of Pomerania) is misspelled as "POMERANIAE DUCATU" (Duchy of Pomeranian). This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
