Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Marck coin from the 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, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many German states, including Aachen. The city's minting of the 3 Marck coin during this period reflects the economic and political instability of the time, as well as the city's efforts to maintain its independence and economic prosperity.
