Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Münster is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed there by the mint master to signify the coin's authenticity and to prevent counterfeiting. This feature is known as a "Münster hole" and is a distinct characteristic of coins from this region and time period.
