Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Urban of Trennbach 1570 from Bishopric of Passau (German States) gold coin 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 used as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was said to be the perfect size to fit a small needle, and if the coin was genuine, the needle would pass through the hole without any obstruction. This feature was a way to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the coin's value and authenticity.
