This specimen was lot 70539 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, May 2018), where it sold for $1,080. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Bremen. Taler, 1641-TI. Friedrich II, Prince of Denmark (1634-44). NGC EF-45. Good strike, toned and attractive." This type was struck 1641-44. Most Bremen issues were emitted by the free city of Bremen, still today a major port on the North Sea coast of Germany. However, the hinterland formed the archbishopric of Bremen which persisted after the region converted to Lutheranism in the mid-1500's. Finally, as a consequence of the Thirty Years War, the state was secularized and handed over to the king of Sweden and ruled by him until 1719.
