Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Mark 1639-1646 (1639-1648) 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 Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving, leading to the emergence of new states and territories. Despite this turmoil, the Free Imperial City of Aachen was able to maintain its independence and issue its own currency, such as this silver 2 Mark coin.
