Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the County of Mansfeld-Artern is that it features a unique combination of three rulers on its obverse side. Volrat VI, Wolfgang III, and John George are all depicted together, which is a rare occurrence on coins from that time period. This suggests that the coin may have been minted during a time of political unity or cooperation between the three rulers, making it a significant historical artifact.
