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 Henry Francis, the two ruling counts of the region, on opposite sides of the coin. This distinctive design was a deliberate choice made by the counts to symbolize their unity and cooperation in governing the county.
