| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing frontal figure of St. Peter within a beaded inner circle, depicted with his characteristic attributes including keys, rendered in a crude but expressive medieval style typical of small hammered billon coinage. The legend SANCT PETRUS surrounds the figure in the outer field, with ornamental stops dividing the inscription. The overall composition reflects the devotional iconographic tradition associated with Bremen's patron saint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bremen's Schwaren was a hyper-local denomination that never circulated much beyond the city's immediate trading zone — a deliberate municipal policy to keep small change under civic rather than territorial control. The city maintained this fractional billon coinage for well over a century despite repeated pressure from surrounding North German powers to standardize currency along Reichstaler lines. That stubbornness was less civic pride than commercial practicality: Bremen's port economy ran on small transactions, and controlling the bottom of the denomination ladder meant controlling the margins of daily trade.
