Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1731 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "L" and "S" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Lübeck" and "Sterling" silver, respectively. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was made of high-quality silver, which was a hallmark of Lübeck's coinage during that time.
