Interesting fact
The Anthony Günter ½ Thaler coin from the County of Oldenburg (German States) is interesting because it was minted to commemorate the death of Anthony Günter, a prominent nobleman and Count of Oldenburg, in 1667. The coin's design features an image of Günter on the obverse (front side) and an image of the Oldenburg coat of arms on the reverse (back side). The use of silver in the coin's minting adds to its value and historical significance, as silver was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
