Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Ducats - Justus Hermann 1624 coin 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 used as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was said to be large enough to fit a thread or a small pin through, and if the coin was genuine, the hole would be perfectly centered. This feature is not commonly found in other coins of the time period, making it a distinctive characteristic of the 4 Ducats - Justus Hermann 1624 coin.
