Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Rudolf II (Vienna) 1607 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 to signify that it had been tested for its purity and weight, as was the practice during that time period. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it provides a tangible connection to the coinage practices and standards of the past.
