Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Schillings 1522 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a coat of arms or other symbol of the city, this coin bears an image of a sailing ship, which reflects Lübeck's status as a major trading hub and its strong maritime tradition.
