| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing crowned bust of the emperor rendered in a flat, stylized medieval manner, the crown adorned with three visible points and pellets above the brow. The hair falls in curling locks to either side of the face, and the facial features are boldly struck with large eyes and a pronounced nose. The effigy is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend AQVIS GRAI CAPVT IMPI (Aachen, capital city of the Empire) surrounding in the field between the inner and outer borders. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aachen's sterlings of this period were struck under the city's imperial mint privilege, one of the few such rights granted directly by the emperor to a free city rather than a territorial lord. The denomination itself mirrors the influence of the English sterling and its continental derivatives — the *esterlin* type had circulated widely across the Rhineland and Low Countries since the mid-thirteenth century, and Aachen's civic coinage absorbed that tradition into its own municipal framework.
The Menadier 86e attribution places this among the later emissions of the series, a span of three decades during which Aachen navigated the commercial pressures of the Hanseatic trade network without formal membership in it.
