Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling 1841 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 Europe. The coin was issued during the Hamburg's membership in the German Confederation, a short-lived union of 39 German states that was formed in 1815 and dissolved in 1866. The coin's design, which features the Hamburg coat of arms and the inscription "Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg" (Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg), reflects the city's pride in its status as a free and independent state within the Confederation. Additionally, the use of Billon (a silver-copper alloy) for the coin's minting was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver.
