Interesting fact
The Anthony Günter 1 Thaler coin was minted in 1665 to commemorate the 82nd birthday of Count Anthony Günter of Oldenburg, a German state. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was minted using silver that was recovered from a sunken Spanish galleon, the "Concepción", which sank off the coast of Florida in 1622. This adds a unique historical and numismatic significance to the coin, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
