<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 7891423, member: 89314&quot;]Your coin has 4 S.L&nbsp; (4 Schilling lybsk, i.e, of Lübeck) on the reverse. According to the website <a href="https://www.danskmoent.dk/4skilybs.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.danskmoent.dk/4skilybs.htm" rel="nofollow"></a></p><p><a href="https://www.danskmoent.dk/4skilybs.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.danskmoent.dk/4skilybs.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.danskmoent.dk ›</a> , <b>4 skilling lybsk svarer til 8 skilling dansk, </b>as you say. I don&#039;t know how much that was worth in wages.&nbsp; The Lübeck <i>Knechtordnungen</i> of 1665, 1712 and 1724 laid down that the salary of a brewery apprentice should be 2 Reichstaler p.a., along with 2 pairs of shoes, 2 shirts, 2 kerchiefs and half a sieve of beer from every brew (source: <font size="4">Lohn und Leistung: Lohnformen im Gewerbe, 1450-1900 by </font>Reinhold Reith, found on the internet).&nbsp; I think 2 Reichstaler was equivalent to 96 schilling lybsk, in which case 4 schilling lybsk would amount to 4.17 % of an apprentice&#039;s annual salary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
