Comment
Mintmaster - Matthias FreudeInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) made of Gold is that it was used as a means of payment for the Hamburg-based trading company, the Hamburgische Schiffahrtskompanie, which was established in 1643. The company was responsible for the city's maritime trade and the coin was used to pay for goods and services related to this trade. This highlights the coin's connection to the city's rich maritime history and its role in facilitating trade and commerce.
