Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Nassau, minted in 1808 during the reign of Frederick William, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to indicate its authenticity, as counterfeiters at the time were known to produce coins with a solid center. The presence of the hole in the genuine coin served as a way to distinguish it from the counterfeit versions.
