Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Bremen was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the early 17th century, a period marked by the Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years' War, and the rise of trade and commerce. The coin's design reflects this turbulent era, featuring an image of the city's patron saint, St. Peter, on one side, and the Bremen coat of arms on the other. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remained a widely accepted form of currency throughout the German States, a testament to the city's economic and political influence.
