Interesting fact
The ¼ Groschen coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.64g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, who was known for his efforts to standardize coinage across the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is an example of the standardized currency that was used throughout the empire during that time.
