Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Marck coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen is that it features an image of the city's patron saint, Charlemagne, on its obverse side. Charlemagne was a powerful king who ruled over a large portion of Europe in the 8th and 9th centuries and was known for his military conquests, administrative reforms, and promotion of education and art. The inclusion of his image on the coin highlights the city's connection to this important historical figure and adds to its cultural and historical significance.
