Interesting fact

The 2 Schillings coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because 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 design, which features the city's coat of arms and other symbols of its wealth and power, reflects Hamburg's status as a major economic and cultural center during this period.
