| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the elaborately rendered civic arms of Hamburg — a turreted white castle with three towers on a red ground — set within an ornate Baroque cartouche flanked by scrollwork and foliate mantling, surmounted by a civic crown with decorative supporters. The mint-master's initials I·H·L appear in the lower field beneath the shield. A circular Latin legend runs continuously around the periphery, separated from the inner design by a milled border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hamburg's ducat coinage of this period reflects the city's position as one of northern Europe's most active bullion markets, where merchant confidence in consistent fineness mattered more than political symbolism. The .986 gold standard Hamburg maintained was among the highest in contemporary European minting practice, and the city's reputation for honest weight drew Dutch, English, and Baltic trade in quantities that made Hamburg ducats a near-universal exchange medium across the North Sea commercial network.
KM#397 spans seven years of production, during which Hamburg's Senate repeatedly resisted pressure from the Holy Roman Emperor to subordinate local coinage standards to imperial monetary reforms.
