Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Thalers - Anthony Günter ND (1614-1622) from County of Oldenburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 58 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the region and the coinage of the time. The County of Oldenburg, where this coin was minted, was a small state in northern Germany that was heavily involved in the war effort, and the coinage of the time reflects the economic and political tensions of the period. Despite the challenges of the time, the 2 Thalers coin remained a popular and widely used denomination, and many examples have survived to the present day, offering a fascinating glimpse into the economic and political history of the region.
