Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 32 Schilling (Gulden) coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the mid-18th century, a period marked by the rise of trade and commerce, as well as the decline of feudalism and the rise of modern nation-states. The coin's silver content and its status as a standard circulation coin reflect the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region, as well as the need for a reliable and standardized medium of exchange. Additionally, the coin's design, which features the coat of arms of the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck, highlights the city's independence and sovereignty during this time.
