Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of names on its obverse side. The coin bears the names of five different individuals: Bruno, William, John George, Volrath, and Jobst. This is unusual because coins typically only feature the name of a single ruler or dignitary. The fact that this coin includes multiple names suggests that it may have been issued to commemorate a significant event or to represent a collective effort by the ruling family of the County of Mansfeld-Bornstedt.
