Comment
Engraver: Hans Schierven Knoph (1805 - 1842)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sechsling coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1841, just a few years before the German Confederation was formed, which was a union of 39 German states that aimed to create a unified German state. The coin's mintage was also a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the German states, as the use of various local currencies was creating confusion and difficulties in trade. The 1 Sechsling coin, made of Billon (.250 silver) and weighing 0.76 g, was a significant step towards the standardization of currency in Germany and a reflection of the country's growing economic and political unity.
