Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1588 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.R." (Senatus Populusque Romanus) which represents the Roman Republic and signifies Hamburg's connection to the Roman Empire.
