Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducat 1705 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 located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item.
