Wiel Laufenburg 60Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Vierer ND (1504-1506) from City of Laufenburg (Aargau) made of Silver weighing 1.25 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, who was trying to centralize power and create a unified currency across the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design, featuring the image of a crowned imperial eagle on one side and the coat of arms of Laufenburg on the other, reflects the political and economic tensions of the time. Despite being a small coin, it holds significant historical value and provides insight into the economic and political climate of 16th-century Europe.
