Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Bornstedt is that it features a unique double portrait of Francis Maximilian and Francis Henry, the two ruling counts of the region, on opposite sides of the coin. This distinctive design was a deliberate choice made by the mint master, Johann Georg von Haugwitz, to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two counts. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has two different faces, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
