Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the County of Mansfeld-Bornstedt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the County, which is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was a symbol of the region's independence and sovereignty, and it was only used on coins minted during the reign of Charles Adam, the Count of Mansfeld-Bornstedt, from 1655 to 1660.
