Interesting fact

The 1 Gulden - Romanus 1694 coin from Abbey Saint Blaise (German States) is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed there by the mint as a way to signify the coin's authenticity and to prevent counterfeiting. This feature is known as a "plug" or "hole punch" and was a common technique used in coinage during that time period.
