Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers ND (1706) coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg 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. In the 18th century, counterfeit coins were a common problem, and this hole was used as a way to verify that the coin was made of genuine silver. The presence of the hole indicated that the coin was authentic and not a counterfeit. This feature is quite rare in coins from that time period, making it a fascinating aspect of this particular coin's history.
