Comment
Mintmaster EGF - Eberhard Gregor Fleischeld
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler - Louis IX 1758 coin from County of Hanau-Lichtenberg (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the minting process and was believed to have been used as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was said to be the exact size of a particular type of needle, and if the needle fit perfectly into the hole, it was considered proof that the coin was genuine. This feature is not commonly found in other coins of the time period, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
