Interesting fact

The 2 Mark coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Silver is notable for its unique design. On one side, it features the image of a crowned eagle, symbolizing the Holy Roman Empire, while on the other side, it depicts the coat of arms of the city of Aachen, which includes a shield with three rows of fleurs-de-lis and a crown above it. This design was used during the reign of Emperor Charles VI, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1711 to 1740.
