Comment
Grobe 154Interesting fact
The 3 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, which was minted in 1761 during the reign of Anthony Ulrich, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to indicate its authenticity, as it was believed that counterfeiters would not be able to replicate this unique feature. This innovative security measure was a pioneering effort in the field of numismatics and helped to prevent counterfeiting of the coin.
