Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1635 Hamburg Schautaler is that it features a unique "tree-like" design on its reverse side, which was a common motif in Renaissance-era coinage. The design depicts a stylized tree with branches that spread out from a central trunk, symbolizing the connection between the city's prosperity and the natural world. This design was meant to convey the idea of Hamburg's growth and prosperity, as well as its connection to the surrounding environment.
