Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted between 1710 and 1712 during the reign of Anthony Ulrich, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify that it had been tested for its silver content, which was a common practice during that time period. The hole was made by the mint's assay office to ensure the coin's authenticity and quality, and it has since become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
