Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 16 Schilling coin from Lübeck is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (representing Lübeck) placed above the coat of arms of Ferdinand III. 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.
