Interesting fact

The 5 Mark coin from the City of Bremen (German States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 27.777g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the German Empire was transitioning from a silver standard to a gold standard. This coin was minted during the period when both silver and gold coins were in circulation, making it a unique piece of history.
