Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen Tournois 1374 from the Free Imperial City of Aachen is that 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 oak leaves and berries, adding to the coin's aesthetic appeal.
