Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 32 Schilling 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 a monarch, the coin features a representation of the city's symbol, the "Lübeck Lion," which is a lion holding a shield with the city's emblem. This design was used on many coins issued by Lübeck during this time period and has become a recognizable symbol of the city's rich history and culture.
