Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Counts of Khevenhüller-Metsch (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to signify the coin's authenticity and to prevent counterfeiting. This feature is known as a "Khevenhüller hole" and is a distinct characteristic of coins from this region and time period.
