Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats 1771 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg is that it features a unique design element - a small anchor symbol on the reverse side, which represents the city's maritime history and its connection to the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages.
