Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling 1855 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the German Confederation, a short-lived union of 39 German states that was formed in 1815 and dissolved in 1866. The coin's mintage was a result of the Confederation's efforts to standardize currency across the member states, and it features the Hamburg coat of arms on one side and the German eagle on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number minted, making it a unique piece of German history.
