Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach 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 to signify that it had been tested for its silver content, ensuring its authenticity and value. This feature is known as a "test cut" and was commonly used in coins from the German States during that time period.
