Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Schilling 1797 coin from the Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg is that it features a unique design element - a small anchor symbol located below the shield on the reverse side of the coin. This anchor symbol was added to the coin's design to represent Hamburg's maritime traditions and its status as a major port city.
