Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 16 Schillings 1662 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 of the coat of arms, which stands for "Lübeck" and "Schilling." This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted in Lübeck and to distinguish it from other coins issued by other German states.
