Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Konstanz (German States) made of Silver has a unique feature. It has a hole in the center, which was intentionally made during the minting process. This hole was used to thread a cord or a ribbon through it, allowing the coin to be worn as a pendant or a charm. This feature was common in coins during that time period, and it was believed to bring good luck and protection to the wearer.
