Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Solms-Laubach 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 as a way to signify its authenticity and value. This feature is known as a "piercing" and was commonly used in coins during that time period to prevent counterfeiting.
