Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thaler coin from the City of Cologne (German States) 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 17th century, counterfeit coins were a common problem, and this hole was used as a way to ensure that the coin was made of genuine silver and not a fake. This feature is not commonly found in other coins from the same time period, making it a distinctive characteristic of the 3 Thaler coin from Cologne.
