Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 29.05g has a unique feature. It has a hole in the center, which was intentionally made by the mint to indicate that it was made of pure silver. This hole was called a "Schrötling" and was a common feature in silver coins of that time. This feature not only verified the authenticity of the coin but also made it easier to stack and store.
