Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs 1687 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "L" and "S" on either side, which stands for "Lübeck" and "Schilling," respectively. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was issued by the city of Lübeck and to distinguish it from other coins issued by other German states.
