Comments: Obverse features the Hamburg coat of arms with lion supporting.  Reverse features an imperial crowned eagle.  This is the type 1 reverse which was minted in 1875, 1876 and 1888.  Edge is inscribed with GOTT MIT UNS which translates to God With Us. A bit lower grade than I normally collect but I like the original look of the coin.
