Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler 1559 from Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Lübeck on the reverse side. This shield is a symbol of the city's independence and economic power, as Lübeck was a prominent member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages.
