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 its small size, the coin was an important part of the local economy and was used for everyday transactions. Today, it is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few examples known to exist in mint condition.
