Interesting fact

The Ducat 1737 from Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden is one of the few coins in the world that has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center. This hole was intentionally made during the minting process, and it was used to thread a cord or a ribbon through it, allowing the coin to be worn as a pendant or a charm. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of its time and adds to its unique historical significance.
