Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats ND (1606-1619) coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg is that it features a unique design that reflects the city's rich history and culture. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of St. Peter, the patron saint of Hamburg, while the reverse side depicts the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with three towers and a crown. This design was used on many coins issued by Hamburg during this period and has become a recognizable symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
