Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen featuring Christopher of Brunswick is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in 1522, just a few years after the start of the Protestant Reformation, which had a significant impact on the Catholic Church and the German States. Additionally, the coin was minted during a time of conflict between the Protestant princes and the Catholic Church, making it a unique and interesting piece of history.
