Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Anna Amalia 1764-1765 coin from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the minting process as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The idea behind this was that only a genuine silver coin would have a clean, round hole, while a counterfeit coin made of a cheaper metal would have a rough or irregular hole. This feature was used as a way to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the coin's value.
