Comment

Wiener Karlskirche, Vienna (St. Charles Church) - This "coin" show how absurd custom coin minting programs by mail order companies are. The church is not known as "Charlemagne Church" and is not named after Charlemagne but rather after St. Charles Borromeo by Charles VI.

Interesting fact

The Charlemagne Church coin features a unique design, showcasing the Charlemagne Church in Aachen, Germany, which was built in the 9th century during the reign of Charlemagne, King of the Franks. The church is renowned for its architectural and historical significance, and it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978.
