Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 Reichsdaler coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Ferdinand III, who was instrumental in reforming the Holy Roman Empire's currency system. The 1/24 Reichsdaler was part of a new system of coinage that was introduced to combat inflation and stabilize the economy. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gave it a high level of purchasing power at the time.
