Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Hinterort is that it features a unique combination of religious and political symbols. On one side, it depicts the coat of arms of the County of Mansfeld-Hinterort, while on the other side, it features an image of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child, surrounded by the inscription "Mater Dei" (Mother of God). This blending of religious and political imagery reflects the complex religious and political landscape of the German States during the early 17th century.
