Interesting fact
The 50 Reales "Cincuentín" coin from the Kingdom of Navarre (Spain) has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, known as a "doughnut hole" or "official hole." This hole was intentionally made during the minting process and served as a way to verify the coin's authenticity. It was believed that counterfeiters would not be able to replicate this feature, making it easier for people to identify genuine coins. This interesting fact adds to the coin's historical and numismatic significance.
