Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Spitzgroschen coin from the County of Mansfeld-Schraplau is that it features a unique combination of three different rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during the reign of Gebhard VII, John George I, and Peter Ernest I, who were all co-rulers of the county in the mid-16th century. This rare combination of three rulers on a single coin makes it a valuable and interesting piece for collectors of German numismatics.
