Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Schilling coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen is that it features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the ruler of Prussia at the time. This is notable because the Archbishopric of Bremen was a separate entity from Prussia, and the inclusion of Frederick's image on the coin highlights the political and cultural ties between the two regions during that time period.
