Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1711 Augsburg 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 only genuine gold coins would have a small hole in the center. This feature was used to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the coin's value.
