Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Henry Julius (Lügentaler) 1596 coin from Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel 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, as counterfeiters at the time were known to produce coins with a solid core. The presence of the hole in the center of the coin served as a way to verify that the coin was indeed made of silver and not a counterfeit.
