Comment
Mintmaster J.I. - Joseph Ignaz Schäufel von AhamsteinInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Passau (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed there by the mint as a way to signify the coin's authenticity and to prevent counterfeiting. This feature is not commonly found in other coins from the same time period, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
