Comment
Slg. Weweler 32. Weweler, Lipp. Sterlinge, 39aInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Bernard III, who was the Lord of Lippe from 1229 to 1265. During his rule, he introduced a new coinage system, which included the Sterling coin, which was made of silver and weighed 1.05 grams. This coin was used widely in the German States and was considered a standard circulation coin.
