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 its authenticity and value. This feature was a common practice in the German States during that time period, and it helped to prevent counterfeiting.
