Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - George of Brunswick 1560 coin from the Archbishopric of Bremen (German States) is that it features an image of St. George slaying a dragon on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Archbishop of Bremen. This coin was minted during a time when the Archbishopric of Bremen was a powerful and influential state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the image of St. George was likely chosen for its symbolism of courage and protection.
