Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Lübeck is that it 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 to prevent counterfeiting. This feature is known as a "Lübeck hole" and is a distinct characteristic of coins from this region and time period.
