Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Grote 1672 from City of Bremen (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the midst of the Dutch Revolt, a conflict that lasted from 1568 to 1648 and saw the Dutch Republic gain independence from Spain. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination made it a popular choice for everyday transactions, and it likely played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce during this period of upheaval.
