Comment
Mintmaster Matthias FreudeInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Schilling 1669 coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "H" in the center, which represents the city of Hamburg. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "HANSEATISCHE STADT HAMBURG" (Hanseatic City of Hamburg). This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other German States coins of the time and makes it a sought-after collector's item.
