| Additional information |
Bremen maintained its status as a Free Imperial City partly through aggressive monetary independence, and the Thaler issues of the early 1740s reflect that posture directly. The city's Senate controlled its own mint with unusual tenacity for a north German urban republic, resisting repeated pressure from surrounding territorial powers to conform to broader circulation standards.
Davenport's classification under GT II places this among the German Taler series proper, and the Jungk reference pins it within the established Bremen civic coinage sequence — a catalog that documents the city's remarkably continuous minting tradition stretching across the Holy Roman period.
