1 Thaler

Bremen's thaler production in 1621–22 fell directly within the Kipper- und Wipperzeit, the debasement crisis that swept the Holy Roman Empire as princes, cities, and mints raced to clip and debase coinage for short-term fiscal gain. Bremen, as a free imperial city with its own minting authority, faced intense pressure on its currency as debased coins flooded in from neighboring territories while good silver fled circulation entirely. That Bremen continued striking full-weight thalers during this period rather than joining the debasement race says something specific about its merchant class's dependence on reliable hard currency for North Sea trade.

The Dav CCT reference places this in Davenport's corpus of city thalers, a narrower classification than his standard European crown-sized series.
