Interesting fact

The 1 Schilling coin from the County of Oldenburg, made of silver and weighing 5.0g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Anthony Günter, who was the Count of Oldenburg from 1614 to 1619. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin issued during this time period, as many coins from this era were made of copper or other base metals. The fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a high-value coin, likely used for large transactions or as a store of value. Additionally, the coin's design may feature an image of Anthony Günter, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
