Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling 1553 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.73g is interesting because it was issued during a time when Hamburg was an independent city-state and a major trading power in Northern Europe. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with three towers and a crown, symbolizing Hamburg's status as a free imperial city. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the city's wealth and economic influence during this period.
