Comment
Initials on revers below of eagle IHL for Johann Hinrich Lowe,mint official in 1725-1759.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Schillings coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.5g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Charles VI, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1711 to 1740. During this period, the empire was facing significant challenges, including the rise of nationalism and the decline of the traditional feudal system. The coin's design, which features an image of the Hamburg coat of arms on one side and the imperial eagle on the other, reflects the complex political and economic dynamics of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used and highly valued form of currency throughout the German States, and it remains a popular collector's item to this day.
