Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Eisleben is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the County of Mansfeld-Eisleben, which is surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was used to signify the coin's origin and to differentiate it from other coins circulating in the German States during that time.
