Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Sechsling ND (1388) from Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.69 g is that it was minted during a time when Lübeck was a powerful and influential city in the Hanseatic League, a medieval trading confederation that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea and much of Northern Europe. The coin's design, which features the city's coat of arms and other symbols, reflects Lübeck's wealth and status during this period.
