Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen Tournois 1418 coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of the coins minted in Aachen during that time period.
