Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Sechsling 1536-1537 from Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that reflects the city's rich history and culture. The coin's obverse side features the image of a Hanseatic merchant ship, which symbolizes Lübeck's strong maritime tradition and its role as a major trading center in the Baltic Sea region. The reverse side of the coin features the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with three crowns, representing the three kings who brought Christianity to Lübeck in the 12th century. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, signifying strength and durability. The coin's design serves as a reminder of Lübeck's rich history and cultural heritage, and its significance as a major trading center in Northern Europe during the medieval period.
