Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Schraplau is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during the reign of Gebhard VII and John George I, who were both co-rulers of the county in the mid-16th century. This dual leadership is reflected in the coin's design, which shows both rulers standing side by side, with Gebhard VII on the left and John George I on the right. This unusual design element makes the coin stand out among other coins from the same period and region.
