Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1653 Augsburg Coronation 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 symbolize the connection between the coin and the divine. This feature sets the Augsburg Coronation Ducat apart from other coins of its time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
