Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features four different rulers, Ernest II, Hoyer VI, Gebhard VII, and Albert VII, which is unusual for a single coin. This suggests that the County of Mansfeld-Vorderort was ruled by a council of four co-rulers at the time the coin was minted in 1529.
