Comment
Mintmaster HL - Hermann Lüders (1674-1692)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1680 Hamburg Thaler is that it was minted to commemorate the Peace of Nijmegen, which was a series of treaties signed in 1678 that ended various conflicts in Europe, including the Dutch War. The coin's design features an image of a crowned eagle holding an olive branch, symbolizing peace, and the reverse side shows the coat of arms of Hamburg. The coin's mintage was limited, and it was only circulated in the Hamburg region, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
