Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, minted in 1725 during the reign of George William, was made of silver and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. What's interesting about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin, known as a "Schatze" or "eye," which was added to prevent the coin from being counterfeited. This feature was a common security measure in coins during that time period, and it's a distinctive characteristic that sets this coin apart from others of its era.
