Interesting fact

The 2 Thalers coin from the City of Bremen (German States) made of Silver weighing 58.68g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time when the city was an independent Hanseatic city-state, and it features the coat of arms of Bremen on one side and the image of a crowned lion on the other, symbolizing the city's wealth and power during that era.
