Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Mark 1901 coin from the Free Hanseatic City of Lübeck is that it features a unique design that reflects the city's rich history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Lübeck Cathedral, a stunning example of Brick Gothic architecture that dates back to the 14th century. The reverse side features the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with three crowns and a ship, symbolizing Lübeck's status as a free imperial city and its strong maritime tradition. The coin's design was created by the German engraver and artist, Max von Kawaczynski, who was known for his work on various coins and medals during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
