Interesting fact

The 2½ Schwaren coin from the City of Bremen (German States) made of Copper weighing 3.55g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1820, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and the German States were in the process of transitioning from independent states to a unified nation. The coin's design, featuring the image of a crowned shield with the letters "S" and "B" on either side, symbolizes the unity and strength of the German States during this time of change.
