| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the Roman numeral VI stamped within a raised ring, the entire device applied as an overstrike upon an earlier Aachen Mark coin. The ring border is visible as a circular incuse impression surrounding the numeral, with remnants of the underlying host coin's legend partially visible in the field. The Latin legend MO REG SED VRB AQVISG appears around the periphery, partially obscured by the overstrike. The crude, off-centre character of the strike is consistent with hammered emergency currency production typical of the late 17th-century Aachen municipal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aachen's status as a Free Imperial City gave its mint the right to strike its own coinage, a privilege jealously maintained through the seventeenth century despite recurring pressure from territorial neighbors. The "Bauschen" denomination — a regional accounting unit specific to the lower Rhine and Meuse corridor — never circulated far beyond the city's immediate hinterland, making this a coin of intensely local economic function.
The near fifty-year span of this type, 1657 to 1705, brackets the Peace of Westphalia's aftermath and runs through the War of Spanish Succession. Krumnow 173.0 distinguishes die variations within the series that Müseler's earlier catalog had grouped together.
