Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen is that it features an image of Christopher of Brunswick, who was a prominent bishop and politician during the early 16th century. The coin was minted during his reign, and it is believed that the image of Christopher on the coin was meant to promote his reputation and influence in the region.
