Comment
Mann# 207aInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from Anhalt-Zerbst is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin as a way to test its authenticity. In the 17th century, counterfeit coins were a common problem, and this hole was used as a way to ensure that the coin was made of genuine silver and not a fake. This feature is quite rare in coins from that time period, making the ⅔ Thaler coin a truly interesting and unique piece of numismatic history.
