Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the County of Mansfeld-Artern is that it features three different rulers on its obverse side: Volrat VI, Wolfgang III, and John George. This is a unique feature among coins of the time period, as it was not common for coins to have multiple rulers depicted on them. This fact highlights the complex political history of the County of Mansfeld-Artern during the 17th century, when the territory was ruled by multiple powerful families and leaders.
