Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Schilling 1762 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg is that it was minted during a time when Hamburg was an independent city-state and a major trading power in Europe. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with three towers and a crown, symbolizing Hamburg's status as a free and independent city. The use of silver in the coin's minting also reflects the city's wealth and economic influence at the time.
