Interesting fact
The 1 Guldiner coin from Brandenburg-Franconia, minted in 1525 during the reign of Casimir and George, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify its authenticity and value. At the time, counterfeit coins were a common problem, and the hole was a way to prove that the coin was made of genuine silver and not a fake. This unique feature makes the 1 Guldiner coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
