Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Thaler Klippe - Rudolf 1598 from Hungary is that it features a unique design element known as a "klippe," which is a small, raised element on the coin's surface that was used to prevent counterfeiting. The klippe on this coin takes the form of a small, raised circle in the center of the coin's reverse side. This feature was a common anti-counterfeiting measure used in the production of silver coins during this time period.
