Comment
Mintmaster - Johann MartinInteresting fact
The 1623 Rottweil Klippe Thaler is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "klippe" or "cut" design, where the edges of the coin are cut with a zig-zag pattern, giving it a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. This design was used to prevent counterfeiting and to make the coin more easily identifiable as authentic.
