Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the County of Mansfeld-Artern is that it features a unique combination of four different rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during the reign of Volrat VI, Jobst II, Wolfgang III, and Bruno in 1617, and it is a rare example of a coin that features multiple rulers on a single coin. This is a testament to the complex political landscape of the German States during this time period, where multiple rulers often shared power or ruled jointly over the same territory.
