| Additional information |
Lüneburg's civic coinage drew its wealth directly from the city's salt trade — the Saline, operating continuously from the medieval period, made Lüneburg one of the wealthiest cities in northern Germany and gave it both the means and the political standing to strike its own silver. Jesse 515 falls within a series whose precise dating remains debated among specialists, the catalog reference alone doing little to anchor it chronologically within the city's long minting history.
