Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Bornstedt is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - Francis Maximilian and Henry Francis, who were the co-rulers of the county at the time of its minting in 1675-1676. This double portrait design was a rare occurrence in coinage during that era, making the coin a distinctive and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
