Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from County of Mansfeld-Bornstedt is that it features a unique double portrait of Francis Maximilian and Henry Francis, two co-ruling counts of the region, on its obverse side. This distinctive design was a deliberate choice made by the mint to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time that typically featured a single ruler or a generic design.
