ISRAEL HOSPITAL, HAMBURG MEMORIAL COIN, 1841
Cooper or bronze coin issued to commemorate Solomon Heine and his wife. The 7/8 in. coin bears a profile of Solomon Heine (1767-1844), a Jewish merchant and banker in Hamburg, a philanthropist and founder of the the Israelite Hospital of Hamburg in remembrance of his wife Betty who had died in 1837. The reverse of the coin has a depiction of the hospital and mentions the memorial to Heine's wife. Very good.
