Interesting fact
The 2 Schilling coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Billon (.437 silver) weighing 1.96 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when Lübeck was an independent city-state and a major trading power in the Baltic Sea region. The coin's design, which features the city's coat of arms and other symbols of its prosperity, reflects Lübeck's wealth and influence during this period.
