Date 1620 unlisted in KM catalogue.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Sechsling 1620-1627 from City of Lüneburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.05 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the region and the coinage of the time. The Sechsling coin was minted in the City of Lüneburg, which was an important trading center and a member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that dominated trade in the region. Despite the challenges of the time, the Sechsling coin remained a stable and widely used currency, a testament to the resilience of the people of Lüneburg and their ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
