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. This coin, minted in 1617, is a rare example of a coin that features multiple rulers on a single coin, making it a valuable and interesting piece for collectors.
