Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 16 Schilling 1728 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (representing Lübeck) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and era, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
