Anthoni Grill (1664-1727) returned to Amsterdam in 1686 and married his cousin Elisabeth Grill  in 1693.
He settled as silversmith in Kalverstraat, where the Grills owned a shop almost next to a hidden church.
In December 1693 he was admitted as a private assayer.
Between 1702 and 1742 the Grills imported copper plates (c.q.
plate money) from Sweden.
As Europe’s copper supplier, Sweden exported copper and more so when the copper price was high, exporting their copper plate money as bullion.
In January 1711 Anthoni and Johannes Grill (III) were appointed as assayers at the Wisselbank.
From 1713 onwards, the bank reported on their profits.
Until 1725, on average, nearly half of the bank profit was attributable to the activities of ten assayers.
The Grills had no children and they started a courtyard with almshouses  known as Grill's hofje.
They were both buried in the Oude Lutherse Kerk at Singel in Amsterdam.
In 1728, his collection of fine paintings and rare objects was sold.
