Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1746 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. The idea behind this was that only a genuine gold coin would have a small hole that was drilled through it, while a counterfeit coin would be a solid piece of metal and would not have a hole. This feature was used as a way to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the authenticity of the coin.
