Interesting fact
The 1 Dreiling coin was used as a means of payment in the City of Rostock during a time when the city was an important member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation in Northern Europe. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a griffin, a symbol of protection and strength, and a shield with the city's motto, "Sigillum Civitatis Rostochiensis" (Seal of the City of Rostock). The coin's copper material and relatively small weight made it a practical and portable form of currency for everyday transactions.
