Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Schraplau is that it features a unique combination of religious and secular symbols. On one side, it bears the image of St. George slaying a dragon, which represents the Christian faith. On the other side, it features the coat of arms of the Counts of Mansfeld-Schraplau, which includes a shield with three crescents, symbolizing the moon and the Islamic faith. This blending of religious symbols reflects the diverse cultural influences present in the German States during the 16th century.
