Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 48 Grote - Anthony Günther 1659-1660 from Lordship of Jever (German States) made of Silver weighing 23.25g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Second Northern War (1655-1660). This conflict involved many European powers, including Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and the Holy Roman Empire, and it had a significant impact on the political and economic landscape of the region. Despite this, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, serving as a reminder of the rich history of the region and the resilience of its people.
