Comment
There are a lot of different types of counterstruck Aachen coins.https://www.aachen-muenzen.com/blinde-bauschen/
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the Free Imperial City of Aachen was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as this 3 Mark (3 Bauschen) coin.
