Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Grote 1641-1646 from City of Bremen (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the City of Bremen was seeking to assert its independence and economic power. The coin's design, which features the city's coat of arms and a portrait of its ruler, Duke Frederick II, reflects this sense of pride and self-determination. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a deliberate choice, as it was a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time, and its use in the coin was meant to convey the city's wealth and prosperity.
