Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of medieval and Renaissance elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a bracteate, a type of medieval coin, while the reverse side features a more modern-style shield with the Hamburg coat of arms. This blend of styles reflects the transition from the medieval period to the Renaissance era and highlights the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
