Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/12 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify that it was made of pure silver, as silver was a highly valued metal at the time. The hole was also used as a way to test the authenticity of the coin, as it was difficult to counterfeit a coin with a small hole in the center. This feature makes the 1/12 Thaler coin stand out from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
