Interesting fact
The ½ Schilling coin from the County of Oldenburg, made of silver, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Anthony Günter, who was the Count of Oldenburg from 1612 to 1619. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted during his rule, and it features an image of him on one side and the Oldenburg coat of arms on the other. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver, which was a valuable material at the time, reflect the wealth and power of the County of Oldenburg during this period.
