Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.94g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Emperor Sigismund, who was the last emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and the first emperor of the Habsburg dynasty. This coin was minted in 1411, which was a significant year in the history of the Holy Roman Empire, as it marked the beginning of the Council of Constance, a major church council that aimed to end the Western Schism in the Catholic Church. The coin's design features the image of the emperor on one side and the coat of arms of the Free Imperial City of Aachen on the other, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians interested in the history of the Holy Roman Empire.
