Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Mark coin from the Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg (German States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 27.777g is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1875, just a few years after the formation of the German Empire in 1871, and it was used as a standard circulation coin until 1888. During this time, Hamburg was an independent city-state within the German Empire and had its own mint, which produced coins with unique designs and denominations. The 5 Mark coin was one of the most widely used coins during this period and remains a popular collector's item today.
