Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Schilling 1758 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Lübeck) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature was added to the coin's design to indicate its origin and to distinguish it from other coins issued by other German states during the same period.
