Interesting fact

The 1 Stüber coin from the Lordship of Jever, which was issued during the reign of Anthony Gunther of Oldenburg in 1661, 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, it was believed that the presence of the hole made it difficult for counterfeiters to produce fake coins, as it required a high level of craftsmanship to replicate the detail accurately. This unique feature has made the 1 Stüber coin a popular collector's item among numismatists and historians.
