| Additional information |
Bremen's municipal coinage of the 1670s occupied an awkward monetary position — the city-state was simultaneously a Free Imperial City and a contested territory following Swedish gains in the region after Westphalia. These billon Schwaren were struck for purely local petty circulation, and the two-year window reflects a specific recoinage episode rather than continuous production. Jungk's documentation of this type notes die workmanship consistent with the city's own mint operation rather than contracted striking.
