Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Ducat - Christian Ulrich von Bernstadt (Klippe) ND (1683) coin is that it features a unique design element known as a "klippe" or "cut-out," which is a small, circular section of the coin that has been cut out and removed, creating a distinctive hole in the center of the coin. This design element was used to signify the coin's authenticity and value, as it made it difficult for counterfeiters to reproduce the coin without the klippe.
