Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Rudolf II (Hall) 1610 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 drilled into the coin to signify that it had been tested for its purity and authenticity. This practice, known as "testing," was a common method used by assayers to verify the quality of precious metal coins during that time period.
