| Additional information |
Lübeck's mid-sixteenth century schilling issues fall within the city's sustained effort to maintain independent monetary policy against the pressures of the emerging Reichsmünzordnung — the imperial coinage ordinances of 1524 and 1559 that sought to standardize currency across the Holy Roman Empire. Lübeck, as a free imperial city with deep Hanseatic commercial ties, resisted full compliance longer than many territories. MB#85 is among the issues produced in that window of deliberate civic monetary independence.
