Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1707 during the reign of Anthony Ulrich, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify that it had been tested for its gold content, which was a common practice during that time period. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it provides a unique insight into the coinage practices of the time.
