Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/16 Thaler 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, which stands for "Lübeck" and "Schilling," respectively. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate its value and to differentiate it from other coins in circulation.
