Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the election of Charles VI as the Holy Roman Emperor in 1712. The coin's design features an image of Charles VI on one side and the coat of arms of the Free Hanseatic City of Lübeck on the other. The coin's mintage was limited to only 1,500 pieces, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
