Hamburgische Müntze
The Marck Lübisch was shared by Hamburg and Lübeck. Sums were either given in Thaler, Marck, Schillinge and Pfennige or in the latter three coins. The "Pfund Flämmisch" (German for "pond Vlaems") served as an international currency of accounting. More information about coins and currencies of the Holy Roman
