Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Grote 1840 coin from the City of Bremen (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1840, just a few years before the German Confederation was formed, which was a union of 39 German states that aimed to create a unified German state. The coin's silver content and weight also reflect the economic and monetary systems of the time, which were based on the silver standard.
