Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1528 from Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Lübeck, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier versions of the coin, and its inclusion in 1528 was a deliberate choice made by the mint to signify the city's growing influence and power.
