Comment
OHK = Otto Heinrich KnorreInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 32 Schilling Courant coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The late 18th century saw the rise of capitalism and the emergence of new economic powers, and the Free Hanseatic cities, including Hamburg, were at the forefront of this movement. The coin's silver content and intricate design reflect the growing wealth and sophistication of the region during this period.
