| Beschrijving keerzijde | Half-length facing figure of St. John the Evangelist holding the Lamb of God, rendered in a baroque manner characteristic of Hanseatic civic iconography. Below the saint, the shield of the mayor's arms is set within an ornate baroque cartouche. The date 1776 appears at the conclusion of the surrounding Latin legend, which identifies the coin as a new Lübeck monetary issue. |

Lübeck's status as a Free Imperial City gave it the right to strike its own coinage under the terms of the Holy Roman Empire's monetary constitution, a privilege the city jealously maintained even as its commercial dominance over the Baltic had long since passed to other powers. By 1776, the Hanseatic League itself was functionally dead — only Lübeck, Hamburg, and Bremen still used the name — and the city's economy had contracted sharply from its medieval peak.
The .888 fine standard aligns with the Conventions-Thaler framework that dominated German silver coinage after the 1753 monetary convention between Austria and Bavaria, which most issuing states eventually adopted.
