Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden 1592 coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled in the coin to signify its authenticity and value, as it was believed that counterfeiters would not be able to replicate this detail. This feature, known as a "plug," was a common security measure used in coins during that time period.
