| Additional information |
Anthony Günter of Oldenburg, who died in 1667, was the last Count of Oldenburg of the House of Oldenburg-Oldenburg. He died without legitimate heirs, and the county passed by treaty to Denmark — a dynastic extinction that made his coinage a terminal issue for the independent county. This schilling was struck in the final decade of his rule, after the Peace of Westphalia had reshaped the region's political arrangements but while Oldenburg still functioned as a sovereign entity.
