Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Charles Theodor 1750 from Duchy of Jülich-Berg (German States) coin 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 as a way to test its authenticity, as only genuine gold coins would have a hole that was perfectly centered and symmetrical. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it showcases the advanced craftsmanship and attention to detail of the coin makers at the time.
