| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the arms of Bremen — a vertically striated field charged with a silver key in bend — surmounted by a mural crown with floral ornaments. The circular legend FREIE HANSESTADT BREMEN runs along the upper periphery in Latin capitals, flanked by a beaded border. The composition is rendered in high relief with crisp, deeply struck detail typical of mid-19th century German milled coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination 12 GROTE and the date of issue are displayed in three lines at center, beneath which appears the fineness notation 11 L.15 G. indicating the alloy standard. The entire central inscription is encircled by a wreath of oak branches with acorns, tied at the base with a ribbon bow. A beaded border frames the design at the periphery. The reverse presents a clean, uncluttered layout characteristic of Hanseatic civic coinage of the period. |

Bremen's 12 Grote denomination was a product of the city's stubborn monetary independence — the Grote being a north German unit Bremen clung to long after neighboring states had rationalized their coinage systems toward the Thaler standard. The 1859–1860 dates place this issue at the very end of that resistance; the German Coinage Act of 1857 had already forced a reckoning, and Bremen would abandon its traditional denominations entirely within a few years.
The .740 fineness is notably below the contemporaneous north German convention, a deliberate local choice tied to Bremen's commercial relationships with the Hanseatic trading network rather than any political union.
