Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique triple-portrait design, depicting three members of the Mansfeld-Schraplau royal family: Christoph II, John Albert I, and Bruno II. This distinctive design was used to symbolize the unity and power of the three rulers, who jointly governed the county during a time of political and religious upheaval in the 16th century.
