Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler - Christian Albert 1673-1674 from Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp (German States) made of Silver 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 and was believed to have been used as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was said to be large enough to allow a thread or a small wire to be passed through, and if the coin was found to be counterfeit, the hole would be plugged with a small piece of silver. This feature is not commonly found in coins from this time period, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
