Comment
Previously listed as KM#271Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sechsling 1851 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the German Confederation, a short-lived union of 39 German states that was formed in 1815 and dissolved in 1866. The coin's mintage was a result of the Confederation's decision to standardize currency across its member states, and it features the coat of arms of Hamburg, a Hanseatic city that played a significant role in the Confederation. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political landscape of Germany during that time.
