Interesting fact
The 2 Guldiner - Maximilian I (Hall) 1509 coin from the Austrian Empire is interesting because 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 the "Guldiner" denomination, which was a unit of account used in the Austrian Empire at the time. The hole was also used as a way to prevent counterfeiting, as it made it difficult for forgers to create a convincing copy of the coin without the hole. This unique feature sets the 2 Guldiner - Maximilian I (Hall) 1509 coin apart from other coins of its time and makes it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
