Bremen, GermanyComments
On the reverse, under the date, is 11 L. 15 G.
This refers to a fineness from a purity scale Germans used back in the day known as the Lot scale.
1 Lot was 1/16th pure and it would be separated into 18 Grän
So the fraction needed to find the fineness from what is written on this coin is (11 + (15/18))/16
which equals 0.73958333333 basically 73.9583%
