Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features four different portraits of the ruling counts of Mansfeld-Eisleben, namely Volrat VI, Jobst II, Wolfgang III, and Bruno III, who died in 1619. This unique design with multiple portraits on a single coin was a way to commemorate the death of the four rulers and highlight the significance of their rule in the region.
