Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the City of Bremen (German States) made of Silver weighing 57.24g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states, including Bremen, were struggling to rebuild their economies and maintain their independence. The minting of this coin may have been a way for the City of Bremen to assert its sovereignty and demonstrate its economic strength during this tumultuous period.
