Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldengroschen coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric, which is surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was used to signify the coin's origins and to show the authority of the Archbishopric in issuing the coin.
