Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groten 1840 coin from the City of Bremen (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the era of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. The Confederation was formed after the Napoleonic Wars, and its currency, the Vereinsthaler, was introduced in 1857. However, some states, like Bremen, continued to issue their own coins, like the 1 Groten, which was equivalent to 1/24 of a Vereinsthaler. This coin is a rare example of a local currency issued during a time of economic and political transition in Germany.
