Interesting fact

The 2 Thalers coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Silver weighing 58g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Europe and had significant impacts on the economy and trade. Despite the challenges, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, making it a unique piece for collectors and historians.
