Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 6 Marck (Kipper) 1619-1621 from 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 Kipper era, which lasted from 1619 to 1623, was a period of rapid inflation and currency devaluation in the Holy Roman Empire, and this coin was minted during that time. The coin's design and silver content were meant to convey the value and stability of the currency, despite the economic challenges of the time.
