Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1568 from City of Bremen (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the city of Bremen, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on the 1568 issue was likely done to signify the city's growing importance and influence in the region.
