Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1742 from 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, indicating the coin's purity.
