Interesting fact
The Blaffert coin from the City of Lüneburg was minted during the reign of Duke Otto IV of Lüneburg, who was known for his efforts to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin's design features the image of a bishops' mitre, which was a symbol of the city's connection to the Catholic Church. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted outside of the Lüneburg region, and its value was limited due to its small denomination. Today, the Blaffert coin is a rare and sought-after collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
