Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Mark coin from the Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg (German States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 11.111g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the period of the German Empire (1871-1918), which saw rapid industrialization and urbanization, as well as the rise of nationalism and imperialism. The coin's design, featuring the Hamburg coat of arms and the imperial eagle, reflects the city's pride in its history and its connection to the larger German state. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 2 Mark coin from Hamburg is now a sought-after collector's item, prized for its historical significance and its silver content.
