Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen, minted in 1571, is interesting because it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "A" on the reverse side, which represents the city of Aachen. This letter "A" is surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries, adding to the coin's aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver adds to its value and rarity, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
