Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen is that it features an image of George of Brunswick, who was the Bishop of Bremen from 1560 to 1566. This coin was minted during his reign and bears his likeness on one side, while the other side features the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Bremen. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a standard circulation coin from the German States during the 16th century.
