Interesting fact
The 32 Schilling coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a means of payment in the city during a time when most currencies were made of copper or other base metals. The use of silver in the coin's minting process indicates that Lübeck was a wealthy and influential city in the German States during the 18th century.
