| Beschrijving voorzijde | Half-length facing figure of St. John the Baptist, holding the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) in his arms. Below the figure, the shield of the city arms of Lübeck is prominently displayed, flanked on either side by the armorial shields of two mayors, with the date of issue appearing in the field between or adjacent to these arms. The composition is rendered in the detailed Germanic baroque style typical of early seventeenth-century civic coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed, with spread wings rendered in fine feather detail, the heads surmounted by a single imperial crown. At the center of the eagle's breast, a rounded orb bears the numeral '32', denoting the denomination. The surrounding circular legend names Emperor Ferdinand II in his capacity as Holy Roman Emperor. The overall design closely follows the standard imperial eagle type mandated for Reichsmünzen of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lübeck's 32 Schilling denominations of the late 1620s and early 1630s were struck against the backdrop of the Thirty Years' War, during which the city's status as a neutral Free Hanseatic city was under constant pressure. The municipal council invested heavily in maintaining independent coinage — a practical assertion of civic authority when Swedish, Danish, and Imperial armies were all operating within the surrounding region.
Behr#160 e/b distinguishes specific die combinations within this emission, variations that arose partly from the high turnover of working dies during sustained wartime production.
