Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Württemberg, issued in 1624 during the reign of John Frederick I, features an unusual 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 silver content, which was a common practice in the region at the time. The hole was made by the mint officials to ensure that the coin met the required standards for silver purity, and it became a distinctive feature of the coin. This interesting fact adds to the historical and numismatic significance of the coin, making it a unique and valuable collector's item.
