Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Goldgulden - Louis the Pious 1575 coin from Duchy of Württemberg 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 as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was meant to ensure that the coin was made of real gold and not a counterfeit, as it would be difficult to drill a hole in a fake coin without damaging it. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it showcases the innovative techniques used in minting during that time period.
