Interesting fact
The 8 Albus coin from the City of Cologne (German States) made of Silver is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It was minted in 1636, during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of Saint Ursula, the patron saint of Cologne, on one side, and the coat of arms of the city on the other. The coin is made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, and its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
