| Beschrijving voorzijde | Full-length frontal figure of St. John the Baptist, nimbed and draped, holding the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) in his right arm; the Lübeck city arms, a quartered shield, displayed at the base of the figure within a lobed cartouche. The encircling legend reads MONETA NOVA LVBECENS with the date 1573, separated by pellets, within a beaded border. The composition is rendered in the bold, high-relief style characteristic of late sixteenth-century North German municipal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lübeck's 16 Schilling denomination sits within a denomination structure that was never fully rationalized across the Hanseatic cities, making inter-city accounting a persistent headache for merchants throughout the sixteenth century. By the 1570s, Lübeck was minting aggressively to maintain its commercial primacy as Hamburg began eroding its dominance over Baltic trade routes. The city's mint operated under strict council oversight — debasement scandals in earlier decades had made the Senate acutely sensitive to weight and fineness standards.
