Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features five different rulers, which is a unique feature among coins. The coin was issued during a time when the County of Mansfeld-Bornstedt was ruled by a council of regents, and it's possible that the inclusion of multiple rulers on the coin was a way to symbolize the shared power and authority of the regents.
