Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen 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 to signify that it was made of pure silver, as silver was a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time. The hole also served as a way to test the authenticity of the coin, as it was difficult to counterfeit a coin with a small hole in the center. This feature makes the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen a distinctive and interesting piece of numismatic history.
