Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1753 Albertustaler coin is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed there by the mint master, Christian Ditlev Reventlow, as a way to signify the coin's authenticity and to prevent counterfeiting. This feature is known as a "Reventlow's hole" and is a distinct characteristic of this particular coin.
