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.
