Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1792 Lübeck 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 minting process and was believed to have been done to signify the coin's authenticity and value. This feature is not commonly found in other coins of the time period, making the Lübeck Ducat a distinctive and highly sought-after collector's item.
