Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Placidus of Droste 1687 coin from the Abbey of Fulda (German States) is that it features a unique design element known as a "mullet" or "mule" - a term used to describe a coin that has been struck with dies from different years or series, resulting in a mismatched or unusual combination. In this case, the obverse (front) die is from 1687, while the reverse (back) die is from a different year, creating a distinctive and highly sought-after variation among collectors.
