Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Eisleben is that it features a unique double portrait of Francis Maximilian and Francis Henry, the two ruling counts of the region, on its obverse side. This double portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that time and adds to the coin's historical and numismatic significance.
