Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers ND (1619-1627) coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.L." (Senatus Populusque Lubecensis) which represents the coat of arms of the city of Lübeck. This coin was minted during a time when Lübeck was a powerful and influential member of the Hanseatic League, a confederation of merchant guilds and cities in Northern Europe that dominated trade in the region for centuries. The coin's design reflects the city's pride in its history and its position as a major player in the regional economy.
