This is another one that I got back from NGC. It is a commemorative from Bremen (Germany). It commemorates the German Victory over France during the War of 1870-71.

Do you know if there is any significance to the key on the crest?

Is an atribute of St Peter, the patron saint of the city.

A little more info.
From the Bremen Official Website:
The Coat-of-Arms of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen shows a silver key on a red shield. The key is the attribute of Simon Petrus, patron saint of the Bremen Cathedral, and it was first represented in the seal of the City of Bremen in 1366, after its liberation from the occupation by Prince-Archbishop Albert II, and later became the main element of the city's coat-of-arms.
