Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of three different rulers on its obverse side. Volrat VI, Jobst II, and Wolfgang III were all co-rulers of the County of Mansfeld-Artern in Germany during the early 17th century, and their joint reign is reflected in the design of the coin. This is a rare example of a coin that showcases the collaboration of multiple rulers, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
