Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp 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 to signify that it had been tested for its silver content, ensuring its authenticity and value. This feature is known as a "test cut" and was commonly used in coins from this region during that time period.
