Comment
Reduced diameter (type 4 from Zöttl), normal is 26 mm.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Paris von Lodron 1648 coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) 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 small hole in the center. This feature was used to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the coin's value and authenticity.
