Comment
Mintmaster - H. OeckelerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Thalers - Henry Julius (Löser) 1609 coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel 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, as counterfeiters at the time were known to produce coins with a solid center. The presence of the hole in the center of the coin served as a guarantee of its genuineness and value.
