Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the 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 to signify that it had been tested for its purity and weight, ensuring that it met the standards of the time. This feature is not commonly found in other coins from the same period, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
