Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle 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 silver content, and to ensure that it met the required standards for currency. This feature is known as a "test cut" and was a common practice in the minting of coins during that time period.
