Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Württemberg, minted in 1697 during the reign of Eberhard Louis, is that it features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin as a way to test its authenticity, as counterfeiters at the time were known to produce coins with a solid center. The presence of the hole in the center of the coin served as a guarantee that it was a genuine issue from the Württemberg mint.
