| Additional information |
Bremen's groten coinage occupied an awkward position in the Holy Roman Empire's monetary chaos — a local denomination stubbornly maintained by a city that had been trading on its own terms since the Hanseatic period. The 1750–1751 dates bracket a two-year run, likely reflecting a single minting contract rather than continuous production.
At 0.71 g of silver, these circulated hard in a port economy where small change was perpetually in short supply.
