Comment
Mintmark double lilly - Mintmaster - Andreas MetznerInteresting fact
The Lüneburg Goldgulden coin from 1562 is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few specimens known to exist today. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the City of Lüneburg was an independent city-state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it features the coat of arms of the city on one side and the image of a lion on the other. The lion was a symbol of strength and power, reflecting the city's wealth and influence at the time.
