Comment
Bremervörde mintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The Archbishopric of Bremen, where the coin was minted, was a powerful ecclesiastical state that played a significant role in the Protestant Reformation. The coin's minting during this period highlights the complex relationship between religion, politics, and economics in the region during the late 16th century.
