Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of four different rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during a time when the County of Oldenburg was ruled by a council of four princes, who were all represented on the coin: John VI, George, Christoph, and Anthony I. This rare combination of multiple rulers on a single coin makes it a valuable and interesting piece for collectors.
