Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Grote - Christopher of Brunswick 1521-1522 from Archbishopric of Bremen (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.5 g is that it features an image of Christopher of Brunswick, who was a prominent bishop and politician during the early 16th century. He played a significant role in the Protestant Reformation and was known for his efforts to promote the spread of Lutheranism in the region. The coin's design, which includes an image of Christopher on one side and a shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Bremen on the other, reflects the importance of religion and political power during this time period.
