Comment
Weight between 3.3g and 4.4g Interesting fact
The Dardenna Ste Dévote - Antoine I 1720 coin from Monaco is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to signify the coin's value, which was worth one denier, a small fraction of a French livre. The hole was also used as a way to prevent counterfeiting, as it was difficult to replicate the exact size and shape of the hole. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of its time and adds to its historical significance.
