Interesting fact

The Pulverfabrik Hamburg, which is featured on the reverse side of the coin, was a historic gunpowder factory in Hamburg, Germany. It was established in the 17th century and operated until the early 20th century. The factory was an important supplier of gunpowder for the German military, and its production played a significant role in the country's military history. Today, the site where the factory once stood is home to a residential area and a park, and the coin serves as a reminder of the city's rich industrial heritage.
