Comment
Hollmann 160Interesting fact
The 2 Heller coin from Saxe-Hildburghausen, minted in 1791 during the reign of Frederick IV, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to indicate its authenticity, as counterfeiters at the time were known to produce coins without the hole. This unique feature makes the coin easily identifiable and highly sought after by collectors.
