What's the difference between the block_number and block_number_minted in a token response?

Given a response like this,

 {
      "token_address": "0x07d971c03553011a48e951a53f48632d37652ba1",
      "token_id": "79183",
      "owner_of": "0x07d971c03553011a48e951a53f48632d37652ba1",
      "block_number": "19264550",
      "block_number_minted": "16716072",
      "token_hash": "4636ed9ff64baaeda7510def4463e445",
      "amount": "1",
      "contract_type": "ERC721",
      "name": "Era7 NFT",
      "symbol": "ERANFT",
      "token_uri": null,
      "metadata": null,
      "last_token_uri_sync": null,
      "last_metadata_sync": null
    }

I’m puzzled as to what the difference between block_number and block_number_minted is. I would assume the latter is the block number in which the token was minted on-chain as the name implies, but I’m still lost on what block_number could be.

block_number is the block number of the latest transfer transaction for that particular token_id.

Thanks for the clarification. A clearer name would be latest_transfer_block, in that case.
