Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers ND (1603-1609) 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 a portrait of St. Anne, the patron saint of Lübeck, surrounded by the coat of arms of the city and the inscription "S.P.Q.L.B." (Senatus Populusque Lubecensis), which translates to "The Senate and People of Lübeck." The reverse side of the coin shows the image of a ship, symbolizing Lübeck's strong maritime tradition and its role as a major trading center in the Baltic Sea region. The coin's design was created by the renowned German engraver and medalist, Christian Wermuth, who was active in Lübeck during the early 17th century.
