Comment
Frank 159Interesting 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 its authenticity and value. The practice of drilling holes in coins was common in the German States during this time period, and it served as a way to prevent counterfeiting. The hole in the 1 Thaler coin from Brandenburg-Ansbach is a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other coins of the time.
