Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1629 coin from Nuremberg 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. The practice of drilling holes in coins was common in the medieval period, and it was believed that the hole would make the coin more difficult to counterfeit. This feature, along with the coin's silver content and intricate design, made it a highly valued and trusted form of currency in its time.
