Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 16 Mark (Ratszeichen) coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen is that it features a unique rat motif on its reverse side. The rat is depicted holding a shield with the city's coat of arms, and is surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This distinctive design was used to symbolize the city's independence and freedom, and was a common feature on coins from the German States during this period.
