Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Birkenfeld-Zweibrücken 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 purity and weight, as was the practice during that time period. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical significance.
