Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Bremen, which was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the German region during the 16th century. This shield is placed above the main image of George of Brunswick, adding an extra layer of significance and historical context to the coin's design.
