Interesting fact

The 12 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Isenburg, minted in 1811 during the reign of Charles I, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify its authenticity and value. The practice of drilling holes in coins was common in certain parts of Europe during this time period, and it served as a way to prevent counterfeiting. The presence of the hole in the 12 Kreuzer coin from Isenburg makes it a distinctive and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
