This specimen was lot 1162 in Stephen Album sale 32 (Santa Rosa, CA, September 2018), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "HAMBURG: Free and Hanseatic City, AR 32 schilling, 1809, KM-537, J-39, mintmaster CAIG, a lovely lightly golden toned example! NGC graded MS64. Issued by French occupation forces under Marshal Louis-Nicolas Davout, "The Iron Marshal." During Davout's defense of Hamburg, one type of silver coin was issued. The design of the 32 schilling coin of 1809 was reused, and the date was not changed, but the mintmaster's initials were changed from HSK (for Hans Schierven Knoph) to CAIG (for C. A. J. Ginquembre, who was the then French director of the mint). The coins were struck in 1813."
