Comment
Frank 145Interesting 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 added to the coin to signify that it was made of pure silver, as the hole would have been difficult to produce using a base metal. This feature, known as a "proof hole," was used to guarantee the coin's authenticity and value.
