Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Charles VI, the Holy Roman Emperor, on one side, and the coat of arms of the City of Cologne on the other. The coat of arms includes a depiction of the Three Wise Men, which was a common motif in medieval art and symbolized the city's connection to the Christian faith.
