| Beschrijving keerzijde | A standing full-length figure of Saint Lawrence, the patron saint of Wismar, is depicted in the central field, clad in ecclesiastical robes and facing three-quarters to the left. He holds a gridiron — the instrument of his martyrdom — in his left hand and raises his right hand in a gesture of benediction or blessing. The figure stands upon a decorative cartouche or scroll at the base of the field. The surrounding Latin legend SPES NOSTRA IN DEO (Our Hope is in God) runs clockwise within a beaded or linear border near the coin's rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wismar in 1556 was a prosperous Hanseatic port on the Baltic, and the city's right to strike thalers derived from imperial minting privileges jealously defended against encroachment by the Dukes of Mecklenburg, whose territories surrounded it on three sides. The city would eventually lose that independence — Sweden seized Wismar in 1648 under the Peace of Westphalia and held it for nearly two centuries.
Kunzel 70 A/a places this among the earliest confirmed thaler strikings for the city, a series that remained small in total output throughout the sixteenth century.
