Comment
Twice the thickness of MB#157Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Daler - Johan III 1575 coin from Sweden is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to indicate its value, as it was believed that the hole would make it easier for people to tell the coin apart from other coins of similar size and value. This design feature is known as a "plug" or "hole punch" and was a common feature in coins of that time period.
