Comment
Slg. Noss 361Interesting fact
The 5 Kreuzer coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, minted in 1736 during the reign of Charles Philip, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify its authenticity and value. The practice of drilling holes in coins was common in the Palatinate region during this time period, and it helped to prevent counterfeiting. This unique feature makes the 5 Kreuzer coin a distinctive and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
