Interesting fact
The 1 Dreiling coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a means of payment during a time when the city was an important trading center in the Baltic Sea region. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with three crowns, symbolizing the city's connection to the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading federation that dominated trade in the region for centuries. The coin's silver content also made it a valuable and reliable form of currency, which helped to facilitate trade and commerce in the region.
