Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Silver weighing 14.40g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who was also the King of Spain. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design features the emperor's portrait on one side and the Aachen city's coat of arms on the other, signifying the city's independence and connection to the empire.
