Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver has a unique feature. It has a hole in the center, which was intentionally made by the mint to allow the coin to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This practice was common in the 18th century, and it was believed that carrying a coin with a hole in it could bring good luck and protection to the bearer.
