Bremen's thalers of this period were struck under the city's independent municipal authority, a status it defended fiercely against both the Archbishop of Bremen and the encroachments of surrounding territorial princes. The 1573 date places this coin squarely within the decades-long effort by Hanseatic cities to maintain their own monetary systems against the standardizing pressure of the 1559 imperial coinage ordinance.
Jungk's reference remains the authoritative die study for Bremen municipal silver; his #444 attribution narrows this to a specific emission within a series that saw considerable die variation across the 1570s.
