Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1667 Bremen Ducat is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the manufacturing 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, the coin was considered genuine. This feature is not found in many other coins of the time period, making the 1667 Bremen Ducat a standout among collectors.
