Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the minting process and was believed to have been done to signify the coin's authenticity and value. This feature is not commonly found in other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive characteristic of the 20 Ducat coin.
