Comment
Mintmaster - Jacob SchmidtInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler 1597-1599 from Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that reflects the city's rich history and culture. The coin's obverse side features the image of a Hanseatic merchant ship, which symbolizes Hamburg's strong maritime tradition and its role as a major trading hub in the Baltic Sea region. The reverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of Hamburg, which includes a shield with three towers and a crown, representing the city's independence and sovereignty. The coin's design was created by a skilled engraver and artist, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
