Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1792 Hungarian Thaler coin 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 as a way to test its authenticity. At the time, counterfeiters were known to produce coins with a similar design, but without the hole. The presence of the hole in the genuine coin served as a way to distinguish it from the counterfeit versions. This feature is a distinct characteristic of the 1792 Hungarian Thaler and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
