Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Mark 1646-1648 from Free imperial city of Aachen (German States) made of Silver weighing 3.04 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). This coin was issued by the Free Imperial City of Aachen, which was a neutral city in the Holy Roman Empire, and it features the image of a crowned eagle on one side and the coat of arms of Aachen on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin was still made of silver, indicating the value and wealth of the city.
