Interesting fact
The Pattern Guldiner 1494 is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. One of the most interesting facts about this coin is that it was minted with a unique "test cut" or "assay" technique, which involved cutting a small notch or hole in the coin to test its authenticity and purity. This technique was used to ensure that the coin was made of pure silver and not a counterfeit or debased version. The test cut is visible on the coin's reverse side and is a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other coins of the time.
