Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Silver weighing 14.22 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when Lübeck was an important trading center in the Baltic Sea region, and the coin's design reflects the city's rich history and cultural influences. The coin features the image of a Hanseatic merchant ship, which symbolizes Lübeck's strong maritime trade tradition and its membership in the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation of cities in Northern Europe. The coin's design also includes the city's coat of arms and other symbols that reflect Lübeck's cultural and economic significance during that time.
