Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Joseph I (Hall) 1710 coin from the Austrian Empire 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 the importance of the Roman Catholic Church during the reign of Joseph I. The hole represents the "Eye of God" and symbolizes the divine authority of the Church. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and cultural significance.
