Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1½ Thaler "Schautaler" coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "H" in the center, which represents the city of Hamburg. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of Hamburg on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it easily recognizable to collectors and numismatists.
