Comment
Kalvelage/Trippler 211.Legend variants exist.
Although KM dates this coin to 1619-1637, Kunker attributes this coin to the period of mintmaster Nikolaus Wintgens (1614-1622), potentially narrowing the date range to 1619-1622.
Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the County of Oldenburg, made of silver and weighing 4.0g, features an interesting design element - the obverse side bears the image of Anthony Gunther, the Count of Oldenburg, while the reverse side features the Oldenburg coat of arms. This design was used during Gunther's reign from 1619 to 1637 and is a unique representation of the county's history and leadership during that time.
