Although technically under rule of Mecklenburg, the city was effectively independent and began issuing coins as early as 1325. Many coins were produced, but most were used in trade, so almost none have been preserved. To find one of these in this superb quality is most unusual. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;3,000-4,000. <I><BR>The Dr. Jacob Terner Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 109395<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/109395.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauc tion/41jpegs/109395N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
