Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the city's coat of arms, which includes a golden lion on a red background. This shield is placed above the denomination on the reverse side of the coin. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a distinctive and valuable collector's item.
