| Additional information |
The Brömsenthaler takes its name from the Brömse family, one of Lübeck's most prominent merchant dynasties of the sixteenth century, whose members held the mayoralty repeatedly during the city's late Hanseatic prime. The original thaler was struck as a prestige piece rather than a working trade coin. This 1975 restrike was produced for the collector market, as West German cities and states frequently revived historic civic coinage during that decade to capitalize on growing numismatic demand.
The "Cf." references throughout the standard catalogs indicate the restrike does not perfectly match any single original die state on record.
