Comment
Mintmaster - Martin OldehorstInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Mark 1506 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg is that it features the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with three towers, representing the city's three main churches, and a crown, symbolizing its status as a free imperial city.
