Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducat coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time when Hamburg was a powerful and influential city in the Hanseatic League, a confederation of merchant guilds and cities in Northern Europe that dominated trade in the region for centuries. The coin's gold content and weight also reflect the city's wealth and economic importance during this period.
