Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen is that it features an image of Frederick of Denmark, who was the King of Denmark and Norway from 1648 to 1670. The coin was minted in 1641, seven years before Frederick's coronation as king. This suggests that the coin may have been minted as a way to promote Frederick's image and reinforce his authority in the region, even before he ascended to the throne.
