Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg 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 the coin's purity and authenticity, as it was believed that counterfeiters would not be able to replicate this detail. This feature, known as a "plug," was a common feature on silver coins during this time period and was used as a way to ensure the coin's authenticity.
