Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1700 during the reign of Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to indicate that it had been tested for its silver content, which was a common practice during that time period. The hole was made by the mint's assayers, who would insert a small rod through the hole to check the coin's weight and ensure that it met the required standards. This unique feature makes the coin stand out among other coins from the same era and adds to its historical significance.
