Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1742 Schwäbisch Hall 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, as it was believed that counterfeiters would not be able to replicate this detail. This feature, known as a "proof hole," was a common technique used in the 18th century to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the authenticity of gold coins.
