| Beschrijving keerzijde | Imperial double-headed eagle displayed, with both heads crowned and wings spread, occupying the central field. A cross orb surmounts the central shield, and on the breast shield the numeral 32 appears within a circle, denoting the coin's value in Kreuzer within the Imperial monetary system. The peripheral legend LEOPOLDVS D G RO IMP SEMP AVG, identifying Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, runs around the circumference with pellet stops separating the abbreviated Latin titles. The engraving is bold and characteristic of mid-seventeenth century German minting practice. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1660, Lübeck had long passed its peak as the dominant force in the Hanseatic League — the confederation that had once controlled Baltic trade was effectively defunct, formally dissolved just two years earlier in 1669's preliminary collapse. The city still jealously guarded its minting rights as a mark of imperial free city status, and thalers of this period were as much a political statement of continued autonomy as they were commercial instruments.
The Davenport reference places this among a well-documented run, but survivors in problem-free silver remain scarce given Lübeck's relatively modest output compared to the great Saxon or Brandenburg mints.
