1⁄24 Reichsdaler

Lübeck's stubborn retention of its Free City status through the Thirty Years' War — which ended in 1648, just a few years into this type's run — meant the city maintained its own monetary authority while much of northern Germany was being reorganized under competing territorial powers. The 1/24 Reichsdaler denomination was the workhorse of the north German small-change economy, pegged to the Reichsthaler through the Leipzig Foot of 1566, a monetary convention that outlasted the political chaos surrounding it by well over a century.
