| Additional information |
Bremen's Schwaren coinage emerged from the city's growing autonomy as a trading hub within the Hanseatic League, filling a practical gap in small-denomination silver circulation that larger regional coinages couldn't efficiently serve. The extended production window spanning nearly a century reflects not a single minting decision but successive civic administrations reissuing the type with minimal modification — a municipal conservatism common among North German merchant cities that prioritized commercial familiarity over numismatic distinction.
The Jungk 382 attribution places this firmly within the documented Bremen civic series rather than the archiepiscopal issues that overlap chronologically and frequently cause misattribution.
