The "Lilienpfennig" coin from the City of Strasbourg (French States) is interesting because it features a unique design that has been well-preserved despite its age. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized lily, which was a symbol of purity and innocence in medieval times. The reverse side features the Strasbourg coat of arms, which includes a cross and three pelicans, representing the city's connection to the Holy Roman Empire and its commitment to charity and selflessness. The fact that this coin has survived for over 600 years and is still in circulation today is a testament to its historical significance and the enduring value of silver as a precious metal.
