Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 32 Marck (Ratszeichen) coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen is that it features a unique "Ratszeichen" or "rat's head" symbol on one side, which was a hallmark used by the mint in Aachen to indicate the coin's authenticity and purity. This symbol was used on many coins minted in Aachen during the 18th century and has become a distinctive feature of the city's numismatic history.
