I picked this one up because the boat design on the reverse caught my eye! It is my third German coin, which I started my interest when @trumpman started flashing his coins.

The box it came in was marked Austrian Mint, which I know produces commemorative Euro coins, but the coin is marked "J" of the Hamburg workshop. So I really do not know why. Maybe the box was just used to house the coin. I defer all questions you may have to @trumpman since he is the house expert in German coins, LOL!

@kerrislravenhill has this coin too, and did extensive researh on the Hanseatic League, of which this coin commemorates.
