Interesting fact

The 1 Schilling 1693 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) 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's silver content and relatively low weight also make it a notable example of early modern coinage.
