Interesting fact
The 1 Sechsling coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck was minted during a time of great economic and cultural significance for the city. Lübeck was a major trading hub in the Baltic region, and its merchants were influential in the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading federation that spanned across Northern Europe. The coin's design, which features the city's coat of arms and a shield with the number "6" (representing the six districts of Lübeck), reflects the city's pride in its history and trading prowess.
