Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1697, features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify that it had been tested for its silver content, ensuring its authenticity and value. This feature is known as a "test cut" and was commonly used in coins of that era to prevent counterfeiting.
