Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Mark coin from the Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg (German States) made of Gold (.900) weighing 7.965g is that it was minted during a time when Hamburg was an independent city-state, and it features the coat of arms of Hamburg on one side and the image of a Hanseatic merchant on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment in Hamburg and its surrounding territories and was considered a symbol of the city's wealth and prosperity.
