Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Stralsund 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 medieval Europe, as it was believed that the hole would make the coin more difficult to counterfeit. This feature makes the Stralsund 1 Thaler coin stand out from other coins of its time and adds to its historical significance.
