Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Günther IV, Gebhart VI, and Volrat II, who were all influential figures in the County of Mansfeld-Eisleben.
