Interesting fact
The ¼ Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Hildburghausen, minted in 1825 during the reign of Frederick I, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to indicate its authenticity, as it was believed that counterfeiters would not be able to replicate this unique feature. This innovative security measure was a pioneering effort in the field of numismatics and coinage, and it adds an extra layer of historical significance to an already rare and valuable coin.
