Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅛ Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen 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 coin's denomination, and it serves as a symbol of the city's independence and sovereignty.
