| Additional information |
Anthony Günther of Oldenburg, who held Jever as a personal lordship, died in 1667 without legitimate heirs — a succession problem he had spent decades failing to resolve. These 48 Grote pieces, struck in the final years before his death began to look inevitable, were issued under increasingly fraught political circumstances as neighboring powers positioned themselves to absorb the territory. Jever ultimately passed to Anhalt-Zerbst.
