Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Marck (Kipper) 1619-1621 from Free imperial city of Aachen (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Kipper era, which lasted from 1619 to 1623, was a period of rapid inflation and currency devaluation in the Holy Roman Empire, and the production of this coin was likely a response to the economic pressures of the time. Despite the challenges of minting coins during this period, the 1 Marck Kipper coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
