Interesting fact

The 1 Schilling coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time when Hamburg was an independent city-state and a major trading power in Europe. The coin features the coat of arms of Hamburg on one side and the image of a crowned eagle on the other, symbolizing the city's wealth and influence.
