Comment
Variety exists with ZV instead of ZUInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Mark - Anthony Günther ND (1614-1622) from County of Oldenburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 18.77 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The County of Oldenburg was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and the coinage of the time reflected the complex political and economic relationships between the various states and territories. The 1 Mark coin was a standard denomination for the region and was used widely in trade and commerce. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not necessarily a symbol of wealth or prosperity, as the value of silver coins fluctuated based on market conditions and the political stability of the region.
