Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 6 Mark (6 Bauschen) ND (1657-1705) 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 coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1658 to 1705. During this time, the Empire was facing challenges from the growing power of neighboring nations, such as France and Sweden, and was also dealing with the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany. Despite these challenges, the Free Imperial City of Aachen was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the coin is a testament to the city's economic and political importance during this time.
