Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Sechsling (Gold pattern) 1807-1836 from Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 1.11 g is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the period of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. The coin's design and mintage were overseen by the Hamburg Mint, which was established in 1735 and was one of the oldest and most respected mints in Germany at the time. Despite its small size, the coin was made of gold, which was a valuable and coveted metal at the time, and its design featured the iconic Hanseatic city of Hamburg's coat of arms, which symbolized the city's rich history and trading heritage.
