Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.L." (Senatus Populusque Lubecensis) which represents the coat of arms of the city of Lübeck. This coin was minted during a time when Lübeck was a powerful and influential member of the Hanseatic League, a confederation of merchant guilds and cities in Northern Europe that dominated trade in the region for centuries.
