Comment
Grimm 30Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Wismar features a unique 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. During the time, it was believed that a coin with a hole in it was less likely to be counterfeited, as it would be more difficult to duplicate the unique design. This feature makes the Wismar Thaler a distinctive and interesting collector's item among numismatists.
