Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Scherf 1570 from Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Copper weighing 0.55 g is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin features a shield with the city's coat of arms, which includes a hanseatic cross, a symbol of the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation that Lübeck was a part of during the Middle Ages. The cross is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, signifying strength and durability. This design was used on many coins issued by Lübeck during this time period and has become a recognizable symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
