| Additional information |
Aachen's status as a Free Imperial City gave it the right to mint its own coinage, a privilege it exercised sporadically and often under financial duress. The early 1750s emission coincided with the city's chronic fiscal difficulties — Aachen had long struggled with debt obligations tied to its declining textile trade, once the backbone of its economy. KM#42 is a short-lived two-year type, and surviving examples in any grade above heavily circulated are not easily found.
