| Additional information |
The Bauschen (sometimes spelled Bausch) was a small silver accounting denomination peculiar to Aachen's civic monetary system, issued during a period when the Free Imperial City jealously maintained its minting rights against recurring pressure from surrounding territorial princes. Aachen's mint was notoriously irregular in output, and these small-denomination pieces circulated heavily in local trade well into the eighteenth century despite their modest intrinsic value.
The MB#34 / Krumenacker 174.0 reference places this among the more systematically catalogued of Aachen's civic issues, though die varieties within the 1657–1705 span remain incompletely mapped.
