Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler 1668 from Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "H" in the center, which represents the city of Hamburg. This coin was minted during a time when Hamburg was an independent city-state and a major trading power in Europe, and the inclusion of the shield with the letter "H" symbolizes the city's pride and independence.
