Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1700 Free Imperial City of Nuremberg 1 Ducat coin 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. At the time, counterfeiters were known to produce coins with a similar appearance, but they did not have the same level of craftsmanship or attention to detail. The hole in the center of the coin served as a way to distinguish genuine coins from counterfeit ones. This feature is a distinct characteristic of the 1700 Nuremberg 1 Ducat coin and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
