The minting of Count Anthony Günther took place in the 17th century, when the German States consisted of several smaller states that issued their own coins. The count minted various coins such as the 24 grote, 28 stüber, 12 grote, 2 stüber and 1/36 thaler. These coins were usually made of copper or silver and featured the earl's coat of arms, name, monogram or portrait. The value and weight of the coins changed over time and depended on the economic status of the count. The count's coinage was part of the financial system of the German Empire, which was made up of the thaler, kreutzer and pfennig.
