Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.97g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used denomination across many German states during the 17th century, and the Aachen mint was one of the most prominent mints in the region. The coin's design features the image of a crowned eagle on one side and the coat of arms of Aachen on the other, symbolizing the city's independence and connection to the Holy Roman Empire.
