Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Dannenberg, minted in 1623 during the reign of Julius Ernest, 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 during that time period. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it provides a unique glimpse into the coinage practices of the past.
