Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the city's coat of arms, which includes a hanseatic cross, a symbol of the city's membership in the Hanseatic League. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and highlights the city's pride in its membership in the powerful trading federation.
