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 ship, known as a "Hanse Kogge," on the reverse side of the coin. This ship design was a symbol of the city's strong maritime trade and its membership in the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation of cities in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages.
