Interesting fact

The 1⁄18 Thaler coin from the Lordship of Jever (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.6 g, issued during the reign of Anthony Günther (1658-1666), features an interesting design on its reverse side. It depicts a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the Lordship of Jever, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries. This design was a common feature on coins issued during Günther's reign and was meant to symbolize the authority and power of the ruling dynasty.
