Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 36 Grote 1840-1859 from City of Bremen (German States) made of Silver (.986) weighing 8.77 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the era of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. The coin's design, featuring the Bremen coat of arms and the value "36 Grote," reflects the city's status as a free imperial city within the Confederation. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal during this time period.
