Interesting fact

The Pattern ½ Groten coin from the City of Bremen (German States) is interesting because it was minted in 1781, yet it features a unique gold pattern strike, which was not commonly used in coinage during that time period. This coin's design and composition, including its gold content (.986) and weight (1.16g), make it a rare and valuable collector's item.
