Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Burgraviate of Friedberg, minted in 1690 under Philip Adolphus of Rau of Holzhausen, 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 in the region at the time. This unique feature makes the coin stand out among other coins from the same era and region, and it's a fascinating piece of history for coin collectors and enthusiasts.
