Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the Free Imperial City of Aachen was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as this 1 Mark (Bausche) coin.
