Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from Öttingen-Spielberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed there by the mint as a way to signify the coin's authenticity and to prevent counterfeiting. This feature is known as a "Gittergulden" and was a common security measure used in coins during that time period.
