Comment
Mintmaster - Georg Friedrich NürnbergerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1712 Schwäbisch Hall 2 Thalers 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. During the time, counterfeit coins were prevalent, and this hole served as a way to verify that the coin was indeed made of genuine silver. This feature is quite rare in coins from that era, making it a fascinating aspect of this particular coin's history.
