Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Louis Constantin de Rohan 1759 coin from the Bishopric of Strasbourg (French States) 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, as counterfeiters at the time were known to produce coins with a solid center. The presence of the hole in the center of the coin served as a way to verify its legitimacy and ensure that it was made of genuine silver.
