Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Schilling coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the city's coat of arms, which includes a hanseatic cross, a symbol of the city's membership in the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages.
