Comment
Mintmaster HL - Heinz LüdersInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1680 Hamburg 2 Thalers coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Peace of Nymwegen, which was a treaty signed in 1679 that ended the Dutch War and established peace between the Dutch Republic and the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design features an image of the Hamburg coat of arms on one side and an image of the Roman goddess of peace, Irene, on the other. The use of Irene's image symbolizes the peaceful intentions of the city of Hamburg and reflects the significance of the treaty in bringing an end to the conflict.
