| Additional information |
Bremen's 6 Grote issues of this period reflect the city's stubborn insistence on maintaining its own monetary system against persistent pressure from the Holy Roman Empire to conform to imperial coinage standards. The city repeatedly defended its minting rights before the Reichskammergericht throughout the latter half of the seventeenth century.
Jungk's catalog remains the authoritative reference for Bremen civic coinage, and his numbering of this type as 699 places it within a well-documented sequence.
